Skull Incision/James Doesn't Exist/Plastic Skull Music/2012 Split Review


  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  between  Skull  Incision  and  James  Dosen't  Exist  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  California's  Skull  Incision  a  band  that  mixes  noise/grind  with  math  metal  and  deathcore.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  noisecore,  grind,  deathcore  and  math  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  the  songs  being  slower  and  longer  than  the  full  length  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls,  high  pitched  noise/grindcore  screams  and  hardcore  style  yelling,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  heavy,  powerful  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Skull  Incision which  is  a  little  bit  different  than  the  full  length  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  check  it  out.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Indulger"  "The  Martyrs"  and  "The  Proclamation".  RECOMMENDED.

  Next  up  is  James  Doesn't  Exist  from  Chigago  that  plays  grindcore  mixed  with  crust  and  math  metal.

  Drums  range  from slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  grindcore,  crust  and  math  metal  together  along  with  some  technical  riffing  which  does  not  really  appeal  to  me  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  crustcore  style  yelling  and  deep  death  metal  growls,  while t he  lyrics  cover  hateful  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  productio  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  I  could  not  really  get  into James  Dosen't  Exist  it  is  just  not  my  style  but  they  might  appeal  to  some  people  that  are  more  into  that  kind  of  style.

  In  conclusion,  I  really  like  the  songs  from  Skull  Incision  but  was  not  impressed  with  James  Dosen't  Exist,  the  split  is  worth  buying  for  the  Skull  Incision  songs.  RECOMMENDED>
