Division Triad / War 88 – Split CD (2015)

March 13, 2024

Division Triad have some really good riffs, and some excellent production values too, at least from what I’ve heard on this split. The drums sound fantastic and there’s a really good balance between all the instruments, which is always nice. All in all, nothing super groudbreaking, but a good set of songs.

The imaginatively named War 88 (no dogwhistles there, eh) have dare I say more of a traditional black metal sound, with wasp-like guitars, thinner drums and thrumming bass underpinning proceedings. Things get nasty and frenetic very quickly, with the songs often descending into fucking amazing blastbeat sections. The vocalist “Black Cross Commando” has a super cool rasp to his voice. Have to check out more War 88, really great shit.
