Split/Cross are a band from Pennsylvania that plays a mixture of d beat, crust punk, grindcore, sludge and doom metal with some elements of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Rise Of Discontent" which will be released on January 31st.
Distorted amp noise starts off the album along with a brief use of spoken word samples along with some powerful sounding b ass guitars a few seconds later before going into more of a d beat and crust punk direction while the vocals bring in a mixture of hardcore style shouts and growls.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a great amount of blast beats and grindcore influences along with some of the tracks being very short in length as well as the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses traces of black metal can also be heard.
Split/Cross plays a musical style that takes d beat, crust punk, sludge and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own along with some touches of black and death metal, the production sounds very powerful for being a self released recording wile the lyrics cover angry themes.
In my opinion Split/Cross are a very great sounding mixture of d beat, crust punk, grindcore, sludge and doom metal with some elements of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blindspot" "Splinter" and "Soaked Ground". 8 out of 10.
