Album Review: Sathanas/Nunslaughter – Torn Apart for #FutureRelics via
WolfKult Religion by Consanguineus

Wolfkult Religion has a sharp instinct for pairing bands on their split 7” EPs, and once again they prove they know exactly what they’re doing. Two underground legends are brought together on this slab of 7” vinyl. These aren’t brand-new recordings , the split first saw the light of day five years ago as a cassette release via Nunslaughter Records, but that does little to diminish the appeal. If anything, vinyl gives the material the weight and permanence it deserves, far more satisfying than tape ever could be.

Sathanas take the opening position, a band that has been hammering the underground with their blackened Death Metal since 1988, originally operating under the name Bathym in their earliest days. They deliver two crushing tracks here, with Winged Black Spirit standing out as the undeniable highlight. This is pure old-school savagery: hard-hitting, uncompromising, and refreshingly direct. No modern tricks, no unnecessary layers , just straight-to-the-throat Death Metal exactly as it was meant to be played.

On the flip side we find Nunslaughter, a band whose discography borders on the uncollectable. With close to 300 releases under their belt, the sheer volume of material unleashed by this American Death Metal institution is nothing short of absurd. Frontman Donald Crotsley once again demonstrates that decades of experience don’t have to come at the cost of conviction or intensity.

Where the man continues to find the drive is a mystery, but the results speak for themselves. Nunslaughter contribute three brutal Death Metal rippers that hit with undiminished force. Raw, direct, and drenched in that unmistakably filthy Nunslaughter sound, these tracks waste no time and pull no punches. There are no surprises here, no attempts at reinvention, and that’s precisely where the strength lies.

Completed with strong artwork and limited to just 150 copies on black, white, and red vinyl, this is a release best picked up sooner rather than later. Blink, and it’ll be gone.
