VOID FORGER / VVVLV - split
VOID FORGER / VVVLV - split - 7″inch - 2016
Bang your heads - VOID FORGER are back! This time with their buddies from VVVLV, also musicians from Romania. One song from each band, both longer than 6 minutes. VOID FORGER start with “Excess Collapse” - a rumbling, brutal crusty D-beat track which contains many elements of death metal and also slower, DYSTOPIA-like parts. And that’s where Bogdan, Aurash and David set the focus. If you look at the cover artwork you will know what is to expect: gruff, dog-barking vocals with lyrics about the final end of humanity, covered in rotten heavy music.
“You’re killing yourself
And everything else
Cancerous being
Assimilating all
Crushed under your own weight
Your time is near its end
Crumbled throne feeds the worms
Turned into wandering ghosts “
VVVL with “Homo Economicus” - less metal and more sludge/doom with a small & fine sounding melodic line in it. A slow, heavy track which reminds me also of DYSTOPIA and others from that direction. In the last third they increase the pace and that’s it. Again a real good song which can easily keep up with other well known crusty doom bands.
Split w/ vvvlv by Void Forger
Bottom line: Good songs through and through from both bands and if you like music with a raw character, you should check this split out. Nevertheless, more is needed if you ask me. A split or a full length LP would be a good idea for the future.
