ABIGAIL / VULCAN TYRANT - SPLIT 7''

ABIGAIL / VULCAN TYRANT - SPLIT 7''

Country: Japan / Netherlands
Year: 2020
Label: Murder Records / Headbangers Records / Vulcan Tyrant Records

Almost five years have passed since this split 7'' was released, but in my humble opinion, it doesn't matter at all if a release is new or old; if something is good, then it is worth talking about. Inside the big box that Danihell Slaughter has sent me, he had included this split 7'' of the legendary Japanese Black speed metal maniacs ABIGAIL and the Black thrashers VULCAN TYRANT from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Side 1. has two songs of the mighty ABIGAIL. ''Satanik For Slaughter'' is a very fast and hellish song with great raw guitar (especially the guitar solo, which has such a fucking great sound like the bands of the glorious NWOBHM era), furious drumming, and possessed vocals. It resurrects the old black metal gods BATHORY, VENOM, and BULLDOZER in a hellishly fast song where headbanging is a certainty. The second song is ''Rock 'n Roll Sluts Forever'' (hahaha—what a killer title!!!), so what shall we expect with this title?? Just pure black 'n roll street metal sound when BATHORY's ''Die in Fire'' meets BULLDOZER's ''Fallen Angel'' & MOTORHEAD's ''Overkill.''. Great!! So fucking great!! Recorded and remixed in September 2019.

Tracklist:
1. Satanik For Slaughter
2. Rock 'n Roll Sluts Forever

Line Up:
Yasuyuki (Bass Vocals)
Jero (Guitar)
Youhei (Drums)

On Side B, we have VULCAN TYRANT from the Netherlands. To be honest, I didn't know them until this split 7'' came into my hands.Their sound is evil and raw. The first song is ''Never Stop The Tyranny''. A hell of a song with vocals that sound like they were recorded in a well or in a cave, hahaha, fucking awesome. The main guitar riff is classic heavy metal a la HOLOCAUST's ''Death Or Glory'' but played at 45 RPM with a black thrash aura. The second song of VULCAN TYRANT is ''Infernal State Of Terror.''. Black thrash metal holocaust with a Motorheadish sound. Excellent!! Recorded, mixed, and mastered on November 1st, 2019, by Niek Driesschen at Duct Tape Studio, Rotterdam, Netherlands. The split 7'' is a limited edition of 200 copies, and it comes with a demonic killer artwork made by Arga Kurnia Permadi and all layouts by Sandi Mujanović. VULCAN TYRANT is a very promising band with a discography from 2005 full of demos, splits, and two full-length studio albums. Unfortunately, Sandi Mujanović (R.I.P.) is no longer in this world, so I really don't know what the future of VULCAN TYRANT will be.

Tracklist:
1. Never Stop the Tyranny
2. Infernal State of Terror

Line Up:
Sandi Mujanović (Guitar, Bass, and Vocals)
Niek Driesschen (Drums)
