Jack / Meth Leppard (Grey Water Collective)

Summer of 2017 was rather eventful for Aussie Grinders Meth Leppard. From touring the US and playing both Maryland Death Fest as well as Summergrind Fest. To releasing this monster split we present to you today! And they are joined by one of Hungary's finest Grind acts, the mighty Jack! The front cover of this masterpiece depicts an almost zombie like Crust punk with his dog standing at a stop light on the corner of Eat Shit Boulevard and Die Avenue as a city crumbles behind in chaos and fire behind him. Starting things off with the Jack side of the split, we don't have to even wait to be beaten to a bloody pulp. No audio samples, just straight forward gut punching Grindcore from front to back. These 4 gents really know what any true Grind fanatic would want served up to them steaming on a platter. The combination of low growling yells and shrill pissed off screams meld perfectly and balance one another out. To say that Jack are anything short of amazing is underestimating them. Now, here's a band I'm sure many if not all of you are familiar with. The finest 2 Piece Grind and a Biscuit combo to come from Oz, Meth Leppard! Starting things off a little bit different from their counterparts, we are greeted with an audio clip of a young man speaking in Spanish, possibly reciting a poem? Then like a flash from an atomic bomb we are hit in the teeth with full frontal Grindcore! The Meth Leppard boys sure know how to make me wanna mosh even by myself as I sit here writing this. Every song from both sides of this split resonate well and the feelings of pure aggression and rage will not subside in you for some time. So be prepared to just be on a Grindcore binge once you've heard this split. Rating: 8/10 Meth Leppard fb Jack fb
