Sathanas / Spawn of Satan: Split 7inch

This split 7inch brings together two bands that, should they be found together anywhere else, would most likely be dancing the waltz with a couple of corpses in an abattoir, the strains of filthy, blasphemous and putrid metal filling the rancid air. Having been around since the late 80s, both bands have long been dining on grime to nurture their skills in the 'orrible art of death metal. Spawn of Satan's 'Ritual Murder' is barbaric and vicious; nothing more, nothing less. The barking vocals that promise to kill us in the opening line sit against a blazing wall of sharp guitars and equally sharp riffs and ruthlessly aggressive drums. Sathanas, the more prolific of the two bands, bestow upon us the track 'Unholy Eternal', a track that matches Spawn of Satan's offering in the brutality and uncompromising ugliness stakes. That their output has been so prolific is apparent in the song-writing, the performance, and the production. As splits go, these two bands complement each other very well yet with just one track from each band – and of such quality – it does raise the question as to why they didn't try to pack in another track from each of them.
