Ancient Obliteration/Auroch Split 2010
Genre: Death Metal
Label: Independent
I bought this CD from Auroch forever ago at the last show they played in Edmonton. Finally gave it a spin (I’m so lazy sometimes), and here’s what I heard: awesomeness.
Ancient Obliteration play a cool death metal with extremely crunchy sound with a fast speed and a voice that reminds me a little of David Vincent. Really good.
7 out of 10.
Auroch play an odd death metal that mixes in a little bit of black metal and a ton of H.P. Lovecraft. Their cover of “Chapel of Ghouls” by Morbid Angel is just fucking great, and their live sound was grabbed perfectly with “Haunter of Darkness”.
If you get a chance to check this disc out, go for it.
7.5 out of 10.
