    Southern Italy and the Far East meet in this split that sees the co-participation of historical names from the Italian and Japanese scene.

    After a short and chilling intro in which a sinister homily is recited, the Neapolitan Malvento opens the dance with their direct and no-frills Black Thrash Metal, a sound that recreates the atmosphere of the genre's dawn.

    Ultra veterans Abigail, they overwhelm with their particular Black Thrash Metal they call "Street Metal": careless sounds, fast-paced guitars, delirious solos, and classic drumming.

    The Sicilians Malauriu, with an old-school Black Metal, also, in this case, a raw and genuine sound helps to create an atmosphere of the past, less oriented to Thrash Metal than the previous bands, few direct and effective riffs, and acid voice.

    A split that offers the opportunity to get an idea of ​​how these bands understand and interpret a genre with many facets, Black Metal.
