"Saurian Warfare" is a split release between US, Seattle Washington based death/thrash metal act Oxygen Destroyer and US, Seattle Washington based death metal act Carnotaurus. The split features two tracks from each artist. It´s an independent release from September 2016.

Oxygen Destroyer have opted to re-record "Onslaught of the Precambrian Hordes" and "Summoning the Moth of Divinity", which first appeared on their December 2015 demo. Carnotaurus have included a re-recording of "No Higher than Dust" from their 2010 "A Taste of the Carnage to Come" demo and the unreleased "A Stampede of Horns and Shields" track.

Although the two artists have similar images and lyrical philosophies writing about mythical (or in the case of Carnotaurus real but extinct) monsters, their playing styles and sounds are quite different. Oxygen Destroyer play a relentlessly aggressive and highly energetic death/thrash metal style with a snarling vocalist in front, while Carnotaurus play a filthy, raw, and brutal type of death metal with growling vocals. Both artists have produced some decent quality material though (I´d take Oxygen Destroyer over Carnotaurus anyday, but to each his own) and "Saurian Warfare" is overall a good quality release and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
