"4 Way To Scream Your Hate", four ways to scream your hate, a fitting title for this Calabrian-Sardinian split that brings together four of the most extreme bands in our underground scene on one CD, Zora, Land Of Hate representing Calabria, Smashhead, Deathcrush representing Sardinia.

To kick things off are the death thrashers Land Of Hate, the first track is "Gener(h)ate", an intense piece in the style of early Sepultura, a sonic assault that leaves no room for melodies, pure violence.

The split continues with two more songs from the Calabrian combo, the music remains unchanged, "Antination Antiwar" and "Raped Years" exude violence and decay, with a slight preference for the first of the two mentioned songs.

The sonic massacre continues with the Sardinian band Smashhead. They offer a very intricate and extreme brutal death metal, and "Orgy In Atrocity" is a piece that highlights the technical skills of the individual musicians, with a cavernous growl as extreme death school teaches.

"Genetic Deconstructions" and "Human Fetus In The Severs" only confirm the excellent ideas of the Sardinian band with their heavy and rhythmic parts and accelerations in blast and beat, truly impressive Smashhead.

The third band to appear in this massacre is the Sardinian band Deathcrush, and again the genre proposed is death metal which differs, however, from that proposed by the previous band.

Deathcrush play in a faster but less intricate manner, they are more direct, and "Necrogod Devastation" is proof of that. Brings to mind the Americans Disgorge, a sonic assault by the Sardinians that does not give a breath. Truly an excellent performance by the individual musicians.

Closing the split are the Calabrian band Zora.

They also offer a death metal of clear American influence, "Self Devoured" starts off the proceedings, impeccable the Calabrians, surgical execution and violence galore.

"Mass-sacred Nation" and "Tsantsa" confirm that this band knows what they're doing, great ideas, spectacular the three songs that bring to mind the great Cannibal Corpse.

A great Calabrian-Sardinian alliance then, a split that is a true violent and extreme assault on our eardrums produced by four veteran bands from our underground scene that differ among themselves in musical solutions, but that scream the same message of hate and anger.
