Warsore & Soil Of Ignorance (EveryDayHate, Grindfather Productions)

While listening to this split, I felt different kinds of emotions, mostly sadness and joy. Joy - because this split is finally released (it's been a long 2 years of waiting), and sadness - well, because of premature death of one of the Warsore's founders, Mark Harvey. We all are truly grievous, he was a great guy...
An honor of sharing this split with legend had an awesome Canadian lumberjacks named Soil Of Ignorance. They managed to fit in this split 8 of their tracks! I really like this band, no matter how lazy they are, they perform very cool quality grindcore. Their sound is raw where needed, heavy and solid like a concrete wall! But don't expect only the heaviness from them, 'cause the speed is also one thing they didn't overlook. And the aggression of their music is overwhelming, to say the least. It feels like a train that's going full speed, and you just stand there with your leg stuck in the rails, eyes full of terror, waiting for the imminent collision with it. By the way, their artwork here is all about industrial nightmare: on the front cover there's a refinery, and inside we can see some old rusty manufactory cornered by residential quarters.
Warsore side is a compilation of unreleased stuff. It's called Karaoke Session and contains different covers on some famous or not so famous bands. It has covers on Gore Beyond Necropsy, Fear Of God, Crow, Violent Headache, and the last thing that sums it up is a live cover on Headcleaners. As always we can hear their well-known raw dirty sound that we all love. Their artwork depicts mummified human leftovers. This release is also dedicated to Erik Simonen that passed away in 2006.
P.s. Some of the money from selling this split will be sent to Mark's family, so please don't be stingy, this money you spend will do good for sure.
