UMUR
"Enemy Soil / Agoraphobic Nosebleed" is a split release between US, Virginia based grindcore/hardcore act Enemy Soil and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Bovine Records in 1997.

Enemy Soil are only featured with 3 tracks on the split, while Agoraphobic Nosebleed are featured with 10 tracks, but the latter´s tracks are very short, so the two artists pretty much divide the 8:45 minutes long playing time between them. Enemy Soil play a fast-paced hardcore (not quite grindcore) style with aggressive shouting vocals. It´s well played and effective, but nothing out of the ordinary for the genre.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed deliver their trademark caustic grindcore attack. It´s violent, noisy, and brutal grindcore played using drum programming. It´s a more varied split contribution than the band´s contibution to the 1997 split with Cattle Press, and this is pretty great grindcore entertainment while it plays.

So upon conclusion the split is worth a listen or two. It´s not the most well produced release, but it´s decent enough. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
