This is a review of a 4 way split album between Poland's Cemetery Whore, Nuclear Holocaust, Hell United, and Necrosodomistical Slaughter called "Infected By Old School" which was released by Defense Records and we will start off the review with Cemetery Whore a band that plays a very old school form of death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very heavy yet old school sound along with some chaotic guitar leads and all of the musical instruments sounding very powerful and the vocals are done in a death metal growling fashion and after awhile the music speeds up a bit and also adds in blast beats and the music is rooted mostly in the mid 80's to early 90's and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while also always remaining heavy and they close their side of the split with a cover of Celtic Frost's "Procreation of the Wicked", the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Death and Anti Christian themes.
In my opinion Cemetery Whore are a very great sounding old school death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Walking Dead of Nazareth".
Next up is Nuclear Holocaust a band that plays a very old school mixture of death metal and grindcore.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast grindcore style that also utilizes a great amount of blast beats and they also add in death metal growls and high pitched screams a few seconds later and you can also hear a touch of crust in the bands musical style and some riffs also bring in a small amount of melody while most of the songs are very short in length and after awhile guitar leads are added onto some of the tracks and some songs also bring in a brief use of slow riffs while the main focus remains on a very fast and aggressive sound, the production sounds very powerful while the lyrics cover nuclear war, death, Armageddon and Satanism themes.
In my opinion Nuclear Holocaust are a very great sounding old school mixture of death metal and grindcore and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Church Of Nuclear Satan".
Next up is Hell united a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays an old school style of blackened death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and chaotic blackened death metal sound that utilizes a great amount of blast beats and grim screams and the music is mostly rooted in the mid 90's and you can also hear a great amount of morbid sounding melodies in the bands musical style and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the vocals also use a decent amount of growls, the production sounds very dark yet powerful at the same time while the lyrics cover nihilism, self destruction and anti religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hell United and if you are a fan of blackened death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK" Rejection From Unity With Death".
Closing the compilation is Necrosodomistical Slaughter a band that plays an old school form of grindcore.
Their side of the split starts out with horror movie samples before going into a very fast and brutal grindcore direction that also utilizes a great amount of blast beats as well as a mixture of death metal growls and high pitched screams and all of the musical instruments sound very powerful and they also add a small amount of melody into some of the riffs and leads and the music is very heavily rooted in the early 90's and some of the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and most of the tracks are very short in length, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover gore themes.
In my opinion Necrosodomistical Slaughter are a very great sounding old school grindcore band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Modern Violence".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and and I would recommend it to all fans of old school death, black metal and grindcore. 8 out of 10.
