Skullflower is one noisy bugger. His appearances on the vinyl format are very rare these days, to say the least, so we must rejoice the union of himself & White Medal sharing a split 7" on the ever stubborn Turgid Animal of West Yorkshire. His style is always effective, a kind of yearning, viscous gothic industrial strength fuzz, pitched at the the cold heart of the Black Metal fraternity, yet somehow purer & more gratifying than most of that genre. Shorn of throaty vocal rasps and the insectoid blur of pummeled kick drums on 'Great Hunter', his all-enveloping wall of roaring feedback is somehow spiritually cleansing. Not bad for a big God kicker. White Medal are a grimy lo-fi BM band with a bit of a tormented, feral hardcore feel. Their 'On't Borough' charges messily through fields of gore & crushed souls in a valiant last-gasp attempt to pierce the enemy's heart with the stump of a bloodied sword. Or something. Good stuff!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Funtastic noise fest by 2 crack obsessed noisy bastards who both married the same butt plugged nun.
