This is an split whose streamlined approach to BM suggests a controlled fury and hatred, a power that is cold and vile. Elegance and efficency aren't qualities that spring to mind when talking about BM, this split is
A.K.U. is demoniac, and totally hateful, like a lunatic madly slamming himself against the walls of his cell. The production is high and scratchy. The guitars are shrill and droning. The drumming is very simplistic. The bass is only semi-audible, and the vox… are completely fucking insane. Spitting, screeching, roaring, sneering, the vocalist sounds like some sort of infernal creature inciting his followers to slaughter.
False faith side of the split, begins with an incredibly menacing intro Then everything explodes. Whereas A.K.U. is shrill, chaotic and crushing, False Faith are more deliberate and methodical, and still crushing. They know exactly what they’re doing, and that just happens to be utterly destroying you. The production is much lower and murkier which works nicely.
35 minutes of undiluted hatred, fury, and chaos. Highly recommended.
