Caina/Cara Neir – Split
Caina, initially a one man project, now a two man project, and Cara Neir, a two man both play styles of extreme music which are hard to pigeon hole. As this split clearly shows, it doesn’t matter in terms of quality.
Cara Neir/Wildspeaker – Guilt and His Reflection
The final track on the album, His Reflection, is not only the best track on the album and the best work by Wildspeaker, but stands up well to any other crust track you care to name.
Sea of Bones/Ramlord – Split
The band plays a nasty blend of crust, hardcore punk, and black metal, creating a hybrid all their own. The sound is filthy, rotten, and drags you bodily into the void, caring nothing for scrapes and bruises inflicted on the way down.
Iron Gavel/Black Tar Prophet – Split
These beats drive the destructive feeling of their music along with their deep tones and overall style of playing.
