This is a review of a split ep between New York's Gridfailure and Texas's Feel Happiness which will be self released in September of 2019 and we will start off the review with Gridfailure a solo project who returns with an instrumental mixture of dark hardcore, dark ambient and harsh noise.
His side of the split starts out with some field recordings along with a powerful sounding bass guitar a few seconds later. police sirens can also be heard briefly, Elements of harsh noise can also be heard quite a bit throughout his side of the recording as well as some touches of dark ambient and drone also being used at times.
Guitar noises are also brought into the music briefly along with all of the tracks being instrumentals. At times the music also captures the atmosphere of a horror movie soundtrack as well as all of the songs sounding very different from each other, influences of dark hardcore can also be heard at times and the production also sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gridfailure and if you are a fan of hardcore, dark ambient and harsh noise, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "This Liquefaction" and "Wetworkers Local 845".
Next up is Feel Happiness a solo artist that plays a mixture of experimental, drone and doom metal.
His side of the split starts out with some drones while spoken word samples can also be heard briefly. Clean playing is also brought in some parts of the music along with the bass guitars also bringing in elements of sludge and doom metal and the riffs also add in a small amount of melody.
At times the music also gets very experimental and avant garde sounding along with most of the music being instrumental. All of the songs also stick to a very slow musical direction as well as all of the tracks sounding very different from each other, ambient style synths are added onto the closing track and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Feel happiness is a very great sounding mixture of experimental, drone and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "God Bless you All On The Earth".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of noise, experimental, ambient, drone and doom metal. 8 out of 10.
