Prejudice is a bitch you know? When I first saw the cover of this CD I thought "this must be the most boring shit ever, even the cover sucks...damn", Oh crap I was really a dork, this CD is everything but boring or shitty, the 3 bands perform in the most brutal and entertaining way; let me analyze this 3 way split a little more.

Corpse Carving opens this record marvelously, this band plays a brutal kind of Grindcore (not Goregrind though) and they make a great job actually. Even though this band represents somehow the "fragile" segment in the split they surely know how to generate creative riffs and awesome songs (imagine the other couple of bands). I really enjoyed the opening band for their structure and their muddy sound.

Then [Twitch Of The Death Nerve[/b] appears crushing everything in the most forceful way; this band plays a tightened Goregrind that will scare more than a few. The vocal work is just incredible, filtered that's for sure, but as long as the effect sounds this good I'll love it a lot. This band stand for the best part of this CD, they deliver a great quantity of catchy riffs, awesome drum-beats (fucking fast double-bass), amazing bass-lines (take their last song for example) and as I already said, amazing vocalizations (similar to Last Days Of Humanity but better), you'll love this band if you're thirsty for brutality and utter aggression.

Finally the last band cracks in, Bludgeon are really fucking Brutal, their sound is monstrous in a good Goregrind way, their chaotic atmospheres fill the environment with good execution and powerful as hell music. This band is not as good as Twitch Of The Death Nerve, Bludgeon just sounds more professional and polished than the already named band, but their sound is really not as entertaining actually?

In the end this "split 3 ways" will impress more than one, the brutality showed in this piece is quite elevated, and so I know many of you will beg to find this album as soon as possible.

Final Verdict: For really brutal Goregrinders only; bad cover but cool music.
