UTFLOD/SHAVING THE WEREWOLF – Split EP

Fierce, frantic, and utterly intense, this four-track split EP by the two Norwegian outfits named Utflod and Shaving the Werewolf is as hard-hitting as they come. The ferocious musical attack of both bands is almost overwhelming but certainly not without a sick charm, and I find the material quite interesting overall. Brutal as fuck yet catchy and not without their fair share of nuances and subtle details, the venomous tunes vomited forth by the marvelous Utflod will fry your brain and leave you begging for more, which suits this scribe just fine. Those vocals of Oda’s are simply out of this world! Shaving the Werewolf also dabble in raw hardcore and ugly punk, but on top of that they add a solid dose of filthy black metal, noise, crust, and twisted metalcore to their fiery brew, which makes for an exciting and unpredictable listen.

Both acts deliver explosive tracks that ooze anger and vitriol, and they do so rather effectively. This is some highly enjoyable and entertaining stuff, and the lyrics are more telling and thought-provoking than what you might think, so make sure you check this underground gem out. Prepare to be blown to smithereens!
