Devoting their side of this split to a single song, “White Cell”, Meth Drinker open on loose strumming of low-strung bass chords, following that lead for half a minute or so before slamming in the harsh electric guitar, and then the even harsher vocals. Sludgy and caustic, the band throws itself into the rhythms until caving into to a quick break to regather themselves, launching from there into a more guitar-driven grind back down to the low end, until trailing off in a wail of feedback interference.
Dead Instrument split their time between three tracks, leading with “Kill.Control.Kill”, its grindcore blitz coming as a sharp change-over. Jackhammer drums, barking grunts, and buzz-saw guitar lead from that to “Pathetic Intent”, with breaks lasting just a couple seconds to show that there’s a bass lurking beneath the furious treble. “Parrot” erupts with highly similar tempo and rhythms, its craggy Sex Pistols-melting guitar solo being the main thing to set it apart. Despite the divergence of the musical styles, both bands get across a commonality in their fuck-you attitudes and presentation, with violence bleeding from both, just expressed in different ways.
