Review
Well
this Split EP from Hell Night and Cathedral Fever came very much as a
surprise to me. I wasn't expecting much as I didn't know a great
deal about both bands. Well apart from that the members of both bands
are part of other projects such as TILTS and Path Of Might.
So
what do we get here. You get 4 tracks of pissed off Hardcore
Punk/Thrash/Stoner Rock riffs with sheer brutality to match. Both
bands offer two songs on the split EP. Each showing what both bands
are all about. Hell Night's songs are more of the pissed off Hardcore
Punk variety but I can detect Andy White's familiar guitar riffs from
TILTS so you get a nice sideline in almost Stoner Rock territory.
Opening track – Internal Bleeding – is a punk/stoner/thrash
hybrid that wants to party with you whilst kicking the utter shit out
of you. It's got some fantastic Stoner/Thrash Rock riffs that I
didn't expect.
Hell
Night second track – Head Bag – carries on the same violent
carnage from Internal Bleeding with lead vocalist Mike – having the
time of his life on this track. The riffs are the best thing about
Hell Night as they're so damn catchy despite the psychotic violent
rock carnage that Hell Night ultimately bring to the party!!!
Up
next is Cathedral Fever – And this is where things take a more
darker and sinister turn as these guys play a more dangerous blend of
Stoner/Thrash/Doom/Punk Rock and they're the most exciting of the two
bands. No offence to Hell Night as they're a great band but Cathedral
Fever are the most exciting of the two bands. As they don't FUCK
about here. The two songs – Libations Imbibed and Mansion Symposium
– that Cathedral Fever offer here sees the band venture into more
violent and dangerous territory. Mansion Symposium is the standout
track here as it's a thrilling style of Hardcore Punk, Doom, Stoner
and Thrash with traces of Psychedelic Rock lurking in the shadows.
All
in all this is great split EP to showcase the talents of two superb
bands to check out especially if you're into Dark Aggressive Hardcore
Punk. Though I would love to see a full-length record from both bands
in the future. Just to see if these guys have the vision and talent
to create something more longer on offer here.
