Kungfu Rick / The Ultimate Warrior "Split"

Two of awesome-very influential power violence bands on a split release. Yeah, it's almost too good to be true. There's only one song from Kung Fu Rick, while The Ultimate Warriors serve up 9 tracks of fucking amazing powerviolence. This split begins with KungFu Rick's "Sweet Social Setbacks": Offering plenty of changeups from chaotic and noisy metalcore to slow and pummeling sludge with a few straight hardcore chord progressions thrown in. The Ultimate Warriors cram 9 tracks onto their side, from wild and crazy technical metalcore with tons of dissonance to total death metal in short bursts. The vocals range from low growls to high screams and some insane cackling. There are lots of samples in between tracks, but a lot of this stuff is too chaotic for me. Lyrically KungFu Rick keeps things nice and abstract: "Response set in proximity. Social ground born animosity…" The Ultimate Warriors on the other hand are totally goofy, amusing, but goofy… more often than not talking about wrestling and such. Well, not much to say, just let you decide who are the winner of this crucial war on this split release.
