Erysipelasis/Cystoblastosis (Booba records)

It gets very popular to play mincegore nowadays (it's remind me "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" in 80s lol). A lot of good new bands were formed recently, especially in USA. And this wave of toxic mold is walking around the world. After very short time it also reached the Russian land. This split is a nice work by two very bright Russian representative of this style. Erysipelasis is the band from Karelia, It`s my first encounter with them... What I can say - this band made a good impression. I think there is a good balance between noisy and readable sound. Sometime it's hard to hear guitar behind the vomiting wall of vocal but that doesn't matter. In general, the music of these guys reminds me of good old Hyperemesis, here you can hear the same cheerful mincegore. Fo me the highlight in Erysipelasis part was a deep & hollow ringing sound of ride cymbal cup, it`s really great for emphasis. I know that Cystoblastosis has one pretty famous guy from russian underground on board (vocalist of Camphora Monobromata). And also this freaky guy is a very big Agathocles fan and that is very obvious when you listen to their part of split. When you listen to Cystoblastosis side you catch yourself thinking that if AG played goregrind then they would definitely sound like this. In general, I liked the material - it is not too varied, but it is fun. The only thing I did not like in it is sound, those guys made it too noisy.
Rating - Erysipelasis: 7/10 Cystoblastosis: 6/10 Booba rec
