From Final Exit Records comes this 20-minute split between German acts Goldust and Evenworse. Goldust kicks things off with two tracks of their brand of dark, 90’s-styled metallic hardcore, and much like the „Noir“ 7″, these songs are a little more energetic and in your face. While the band has been branching out a bit on recent outings, this material keeps things very straightforward and focused, and I’ve got no complaints there. Very solid. They close with a six-minute cover of Evenworse’s „I Eat Your Fucking Face Off“, which basically caves into about four minutes of noisy guitar leads and chaotic samples over a plodding, repetitious rhythm. Didn’t see that coming at all! Evenworse, who I don’t believe I’d heard prior to this, then follows with four originals driven by hammering basslines and moderately fast-paced hardcore that’s kind of a mix of old school breaks with some powerviolence density/attitude. They similarly end with a cover of Goldust’s „Speaking Tongues“, which they morph into their own style quite well. I wasn’t sure I was gonna care for this band since I’m not particularly fond of the more sarcastic tone of their lyrics, but this is a very solid split when all is said and done.
Final Exit Records!
