THE SHORT STACK


"THE SHORT STACK"

Seven inchers, EPs, Demos, etc, I get em all. These releases don't take much time or a college degree to write about. I'm only going to post reviews of the good stuff.





ABIGAIL/LUSTRUM - Too Wild for the Crowd split 7"

Eternal Death Records

Released:  2016


Nice little split here. ABIGAIL, Japan's filthy spawn of VENOM, have been around so long I've heard young people judge their releases as old or new school. Their two songs on here speed through familiar territory that fans will recognize, filth and fury.

LUSTRUM are a new band from the states featuring members from ONE MASTER and MORGIRION. The two cuts from them are simple first wave black fuckin metal. They like their HELLHAMMER so you know what to expect.





ALCOHOLIC RITES/LUSTRUM - Drunk and in Charge split 7"

Eternal Death Records

Released: 2016

ALCOHOLIC RIGHTS hail from Ecuador, play blackened thrash with a vocalist who sounds like Attila Csihar. That's good enough for me. They've got a full length coming out in 2017  titled Alcohomancy. I'll be on the lookout for that.

As far as LUSTRUM goes, their two cuts on here are better than the ones from their split with ABIGAIL. More first wave black metal with a tinge of punk thrown in for the house party crowd.
