PICK YOUR QUEEN

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to another split 7" battle to the death... in the upper corner: from Sweden with a professional fight record of a split 5" with YACÖPSAE, a split 12" with DISKONTO, some 7"es and 2 CDs on SOUND POLLUTION and appearances on various compilations: the undefeated MASSGRAV ! in the lower corner: also from Sweden with a professional fight record of a split 7" with JELLYROLL ROCKHEADS, a split 12" with BRODY'S MILITIA and an appearance on the WEAPONS OF THRASH DESTRUCTION comp. 6"... please help me welcome WIDESPREAD BLOODSHED! is what I would probably write if I was Michael Buffer but as I'm quite obviously not Michael Buffer I'll write that you get 5, well 4 and an outro MASSGRAV tracks on one side and 10 WIDESPREAD BLOODSHED tracks on the flip-side but no matter which side you give a spin - all tracks completely slay! while both bands are fast and furious in case of speed WIDESPREAD BLOODSHED have the upper hand as you might have guessed from the amount of songs each band has put on this little rager. as you can see below the label on WIDESPREAD BLOODSHED's side says 78 r.p.m. which made me curious how long it would take them to rip through their 10 tracks on 78 r.p.m. and as I left the 78 r.p.m. rip in the archive you can find out for yourself too if you want! the brilliant cover of course scores extra points!

  1. looks pretty awesome (pick your queen? lol) they got a copy of that massgrav / yacöpsae split at my local record store that i've been putting off buying for a while now (in/humanity, magrudergrind, gehenna, insect warfare / FID split etc instead)... but whatever gonna have to D/L this one for now and buy the other one when i get paid

  2. as the MASSGRAV / YACÖPSAE split 5" is ltd. to 550 copies you perhaps should hurry a little bit!

    thanks for being cool about posting your stuff!

    all the stuff in your folder is posted here too (ripped with a higher bitrate & incl the artwork with the exception of your demo as I don't have the artwork of that one)
