UMUR
"Category III Kaiju" is a split release between US, Seattle Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer and Canadian, Thunder Bay, Ontario based death/thrash metal act VHS. The split features two tracks from each artist. It´s an independent release from May 2019.

Both artists have chosen campy/B-horror movie lyrical subjects and images to support their aggressive and energetic death/thrash metal music styles. As far as I´ve been able to investigate the material from both artists are exclusive to this release (at least at the time of release). Oxygen Destroyer plays a deadly type of death/thrash metal with a snarling rabid dog vocalist in front, screaming chromatic solos, and a highly energetic playing style and pace, while VHS are slightly more death metal oriented but still has traces of brutal thrash metal and even a bit of grindcore in their sound.

The material from both artists is well produced, well composed, and well performed and "Category III Kaiju" is overall a high quality split release and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
