Next up a split release from two of the UK's finest 'Heavy' bands Hey Colossus and Dethscalator available from Black Labs (a new sister label to Riot season with this being the first release). Veteran d.i.y stomp boxers Hey Colossus start things of low key style but soon erupt into a foaming mass of riffage and inaudible psycho-babble vocals. These are long, hypnotic mega tunes with massive reverb saturated drums and immense amounts of guitar feedback that practically saturates opener 'Eyes for an eye'. Can i hear a saxophone in there? Maybesssss......NKOTB (New Kids on the Block) dethscalator take a slightly more straight forward approach on these five tracks yet they are no less effective in their mission. I'm totally loving the riffage presented here and the vocals are a truly disturbing combination of manic taunts and yelps. Sort of reminds me of Pissed Jeans and The Jesus Lizard (especially that fearsome vocal). This is a totally rocking beast and the back cover features a headless biker riding a Harley Davidson.....what more do you want? Eh?So here it is, the first release on Black Labs, sister label to UK label Riot Season. A limited edition 300 only split vinyl LP featuring two of the toughest cocks on the block. Black Labs unites two of Britain's creamiest, shadiest, hell mongers Hey Colossus and Dethscalator, for a split album and you're going to cop it massively in the face till you fall in. Three new long tracks from Hey Colossus and five from new boys on the chopping block Dethscalator. Clocking in at around 40 minutes and wrapped in a gorgeous sleeve. Hey Colossus and Dethscalator are two truly unhinged faces of the same rotting, mid air spinning bad apple, storming down their steaming rays of utter pitilessness, the bastards. Locking you in it's in highbeam and telling you everything you don't think you want to know, but secretly do, axes raised high, trapped voices dragging you down into the dim well. Both know the path to unbridled feedbacking euphoria and putrid atmospheric depth and are allowing the lucky few to climb inside the gungey joey pocket of fate and soar and crash over and over. Flaying victims regularly home and abroad you will do well to serve yourself a hot steaming portion immediately.
