Agathocles / Rotocles – Split Tape (2013)

May 8, 2023

I’ve heard the cassette version of this, rather than the 7″ (both are by Twisted Truth), and there seems to be a longer tracklist, specifically on the AGx part. AGx bring the live material to a split once more, but thankfully it is of excellent quality and you can really get a sense for how these guys just absolutely rip it live (seen them a few times, can confirm).

Rotocles are noisy as fuck, which is perhaps unsurprisingy. The apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree with this -cles band lol. The bass playing is far more prominent here than on any AGx stuff tho, I’ll give them that, and the vocals are shouted / screamed rather that barked like their split-mates.

All in all, a fair record.
