HAUST/ NEXT LIFE
SPLIT

This spilt release was born after Haust & Next Life toured together in 2009. It marks the beginning of a new era for both bands, and neither of them have ever sounded better: Haust is presenting 4 songs taken from the same session as their anticipated 2nd album – Powers Of Horror - released later this year. Haust has their roots in the nekroside of Norways blackmetal-scene, but the young blood flowing in their veins makes the tempo go up and the frustration rise, and the result is heavy, ugly, blackened hardcore. This release celebrates the mental/metal act Next Life's 10th year and marks the very first time they are joined by a human drummer on record, the very-capable Anders HangÂrd (ex-NoPlaceToHide). A few of the tracks are re-recordings of old material, a few are not, all are ridiculously concise math-metal ragers clocking in at two minutes or less. Video-game inspired metal has never before sounded this good.
