i actually had this record in my possession before i ordered the new xibalba album 'tierra y libertad'. but only as of late and i gave 'tierra y libertad' the advantage in order to be contemporary. i saw this release first on lenny's blog. he always wrote very fondly of xibalba and as this post was no difference, i couldn't help it but to give them a shot.
i came across this specific record at hamburg's finest, burnout record store, pulled it from the racks and threw it on the turntable to check. boy, these two xibalba songs are nothing short of amazing. bulldozing death metal with hardcore and doom elements of most crushing nature. check out 'death threat' and bring your surroundings to nought.
the suburban scum part however isn't really grabbing me. it's not like their stuff is complete shit, it simply fails to excite me. but check for yourself. 'misery loves company' to your service. the split 12" was pressed on three different colour-ways. 300 on blue w/ white merge, 500 on blue w/ black splatter and 1200 on clear blue. closed casket activities. 2014.
