Soul Grip/vvounds
Split
As Soul Grip is gearing up to unleash its new album, they are granting us a look at their matured sound. You can expect the same raw energy that characterized 2015s Avadon, but more fleshed out and more focused. Their blend of hard and harsh sounds result in a very specific sound, which for all intents and purposes can be branded as black metal. Yet, their music constantly defies labelling them as such. This split release collects a few astonishing tracks that will surely sharpen your hunger for their next full length album. Soul Grip is joined by VVOVNDS to complete this split 12". VVOVNDS is known for their fierce and brutal take on hardcore, powerviolence and sludge. For this 12" they surprisingly took a completely different approach, favouring one lengthy track full of atmosphere and organic progressions over the short staccato tracks. A perhaps surprising approach that works like magic. This one gets under your skin! For fans of: Oathbreaker, Wiegedood, Young and in the Way, Trap Them, Harm's Way, Monarch!, Bell Witch, Corrupted.
