This is a review of a split album between Turkey's Unhappy and France's Tank Genocide called "Anti" and was self released during 2013 and we will start off the review with Unhappy a 1 man band that has had plenty of his music reviewed by this zine and plays a depressive form of black metal.
"Anti" which is also the first song on his side of the split opens up with depressive black metal guitar riffs, programmed drum beats and grim screams and you can also hear synths in the background as well as a brief use of spoken word parts.
'Burn the Fucking Mosque" begins with distorted black metal guitar riffs, grim screams and programmed drum beats and the song sticks to a raw and simplistic direction during its 3 minutes it is on.
"Die Muhammad Die'' opens up with raw black metal guitar riffs, grim screams and programmed drum beats and you can hear a small amount of melody in the guitar riffing before the music speeds up a bit for a few seconds before returning to a slower direction which also leads to elements of harsh noise making their way into the song and they take over the rest of the song.
"Hatred Until The Last Breath" starts up with synths, depressive black metal guitar riffs, programmed beats and grim vocals and you can also hear a small amount of melody in the guitar riffing as well as a brief use of leads.
'I Want To Die (Then Die)" which is also the last song on their side of the split begins with distorted guitar riffing and a few seconds alter grim black metal screams make their way into the song along with some programmed drum beats.
Song lyrics cover dark, depressive and anti religion themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Unhappy and if you are a fan of depressive black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anti" and "Die Muhammad Die". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Tank Genocide a 1 man band from France that plays a very noisy form of black metal.
"Reconquest For Our Blood" which is also the first song on their side of the split opens up with distorted guitar riffs, dark synths and grim black metal screams and after awhile programmed beats are added into the song and the guitar riffing starts to speed up a bit before slowing down again.
"Nightmare Inside" begins with fast, raw and primitive black metal guitar riffs, programmed beats and high pitched, grim sounding screams and after awhile the music goes into a more quiet yet distorted direction and the vocals take over.
"Your Sacrifice Was the Work Of A Last Battle" opens up with distorted, fast, raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar riffs, programmed drum beats and grim screams and towards the end the drum beats and vocals take over.
'Brutality Y" which is also the last song on their side of the split begins with programmed beats and melodic guitar riffs that are still in the raw direction as well as grim black metal vocals and the drum machine dominates the song before heavier guitar riffing comes in and then going into a lo-fi direction.
Song lyrics cover war and violence themes, while the production has a very raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Tank Genocide are a very great sounding noisy and raw black metal project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Reconquest For Our Blood" and "Your Sacrifice Was the Work Of A Last Battle". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to fans of depressive and raw black metal. RECOMMENDED BUY.
