HPGD068 Cardiac Arrest + Mutant Supremacy - Split 7-Inch Record

Whenever I first hear 'Unhinged' by Cardiac Arrest I'm taken back to the early 1990s. It's as if I'm hearing this 'Grindcore death stuff' for the very first time again. Perhaps I should be having a York's Peppermint Patty for this. The song has such a reckless energy. It's nothing terribly original, this part reminds me of this band and that part sounds a little like that band, but I wouldn't say they were ripping anyone off. I like it a lot, actually. It's tight, yo.

'Self Loathing' is off to a crusty start. The vocals remind me of Hypocrisy circa 'Penetralia'. This track is also a reckless affair with more of a hardcore feel. There's some Repulsion in there too. Really good stuff, Cardiac Arrest is a name to remember.

Mutant Supremacy is the other band on this split release and their sound and production is considerably more primitive than the ones by Cardiac Arrest. 'Gruesome Tableau' doesn't really do a whole lot for me, but 'They Came With Fire' shows a good deal of promise. There's potential there. I can't knock these guys, but the tracks sound like rehersals.
