Replicant/Elitist – Indomitable Hostility

Metalcatto

It’s not often that I review a split. In a way, I’ve never understood their purpose aside from splitting the bill. Anyway, Replicant cemented itself as one of the best Death Metal bands out there with Infinite Mortality, and Elitist I just got to know, so it’s been an interesting contrast, to say the least, with Indomitable Hostility. Okay, let’s cut to the chase—is this split worth the little cash you have left?

Ceremony of Silence – Hálios

Slovakian Metal might seem alien to you, just as it would to me if I hadn’t visited Slovakia. There isn’t much to say about the country—great food, impressive castles, but the customer service can be terrible. This deadly combination almost begs for the creation of interesting heavy music. So, you might wonder if I’m writing this review in advance to gain a competitive edge. Well, yes and no. Ceremony of Silence is my kind of band, and just a glimpse of the cover art of Hálios makes me salivate more than free food at a boring conference.
