J&S A brutally powerful sludge split like a gut punch from a swamp beast, and very much worthy of your attention! Whilst RSD by Cyttorak is probably my favourite, the covers of Boxcar by Jawbreaker and Gut Feeling by Devo are inspired choices, reimagined to the extent of total dissection and resurrection, and full credit to Revered and Reviled for really pushing the envelope of what can be done with vocal dynamics with "In Porcos Laqueo"; that was a godamn aural assault. Buy this!

about

Cyttorak and Revered and Reviled Above All Others, in conspiracy with Sleeping Village Records, are starting the new year with a bang. 4 tracks. Pugilistic sludgy heft. Unbridled doomviolence aggression. A couple of unexpected covers. In other words: a whole lot of fun in the extreme metal arena.

The (mighty) Cyttorak fire things off with the (equally mighty) “Royal Shokan Dismemberment,” a track rife with sludgy riffs, murky cosmic extremity, crusty hardcore brashness, and unmistakably animalistic--nay, otherworldly--howls. At just over 3 minutes, it stands as the longest track herein by a significant margin, which should say something about what lurks ahead. Cyttorak end their half of the split with a cover of “Boxcar” by punk rock revivalists Jawbreaker, lending, as you might expect, a crushing sludge-laden weight to the classic tune’s infectious bounce.

Not to be outdone in the aggression department, doomviolence duo Revered and Reviled Above All Others bring up the back half with a pair of furious albeit brief exemplars of their trademark portmanteau of doom and powerviolence. Their first offering, “In Porcos Laqueo,” features unmistakably mamothian riffage and chaotic vocals wrapped up in gloriously succinct fashion, while their second track, “Gut Feeling,” is undoubtedly the most visceral DEVO cover you have (or will) ever experience. Like everything Revered and Reviled Above All Others touch, these two tracks are absurdly heavy, yet never outstay their welcome.

"I love the way these bands weave together the seemingly unrelated styles of doom and powerviolence to birth an ugly new creation...not a gimmick of smashing together two unrelated genres, but something that borrows the best aspects of two of the better styles metal has to offer." - Abrasive Noise

"It’s a great violent romp all round...considering how inaccessible the violent noise genre can be, these bands do a lot to bridge that gap to the metal world with an infusion of heavier genres that prevent the noise from stagnating." - Noob Heavy

"While Cyttorak and Revered and Reviled Above All Others have only a small amount of room to show what they are all about, both bands have clearly adopted a collective goal: the thunderous annihilation of senses through waveforms." - Stringed Summoner

"This split will kick off 2021 in a most angry way, but one you know you want to endure" - DOOMBox Metal

Cyttorak / Revered and Reviled Above All Others - Split will be released digitally and available for Name Your Own Price on January 22nd, with a pre-order going live on January 1st for $1.
