GOSUDAR & MALIGNANT ALTAR – Gosudar / Malignant Altar / VINYL LP

Collecting some leftovers from two of the more celebrated underground death metal bands of the last two years, each with their own dark atmospheric take on new ‘old school’ death metal eerie, this 12″ split LP covers a substantial enough half hour with Russian trio Gosudar heading off the charge with the bulk of the runtime and Texan death metal quintet Malignant Altar rounding off the tail end with their final two pieces. Expect mid-paced traditional death metal from both entities, each pushing an unbendable die-hard point of view be it particularly Slavic or North American.
