UMUR
"Split Seven Inch Record" is a split release between US, Nevada based hardcore/grindcore act Gob and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Bad Card Records in 1998.
The split features 10 tracks and a total playing time of 7:01 minutes. Agoraphobic Nosebleed are featured with 7 tracks and Gob are featured with 3 tracks. Stylistically the Agoraphobic Nosebleed material is powerviolence/grindcore while the Gob tracks are dissonant and chaotic sounding hardcore/grindcore.
The Agoraphobic Nosebleed tracks are worth a listen and they are quite interesting because they are from a very short period of their career when they adopted an ultra aggressive powerviolence style, which is pretty different from the grindcore style they are usually known for. The Gob tracks are a bit hard on the ears and a difficult listen, and I´m not sure who the audience is.
Upon conclusion "Split Seven Inch Record" is a decent split release and although my ears don´t agree to the sound of Gob, their music is still well performed. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
