If you saw Slang on their recent tour or heard their split 7" with World Burns to Death you already know you need this... fucking CRUSHING hardcore in the Japanese tradition... it's like they combined the heaviness of Crow with the technical prowess of Gauze and came up with something simultaneously utterly original and utterly of its place and time. Great. As for Mind Eraser, on each of their releases they seem to mine a slightly different combination of metal and hardcore, and here they introduce some grind elements that work really well... blistering, crushing, and all of the usual adjectives apply. A fucking scorcher of a split here... 540 Records
