ANTISEPTIC | NSOA 'Retropocalypse' Split 7" + CD

Two bands going head to head in a hardcore showdown and NSOA come out ahead with their brand of metallic hardcore, but it was a close one. ANTISEPTIC throw down four fast paced hardcore songs that had a ton of energy and great playing, the only thing that held them back a bit was that the production on their songs was a bit muted and held back on what could have been even more powerful from them. NSOA came out to beat down all comers as usual and they did, with fast tight songs, great playing and clear production which made the anger in their songs stand out more. You really can’t go wrong with either band and this was a damn good split with two bands who can lay hardcore really well and have a ton of talent. This comes with a CD copy and comes in transparent green, transparent blue, red / yellowish swirl and glow in the dark vinyl. (Rick Ecker)
