This CD is available for trade.
Wasn't sure what to expect here, but the Crimson Spectre songtitles sounded sort of grindcorish, and there's a D.R.I. shirt in one of the booklet photos. They turned out to be pretty disappointing as they're punk/punkish HC with screamy vocals. There's some natural thrashiness just by virtue of it being punk, but nothing to a satisfying degree. The Uwharria side initially seemed relatively similar and had me thinking this CD was going to be a total bust, but they at times they actually kick into full-on crossover mode ("Devil's Gut" is pretty cool). I was further amazed that the "Riparian Trilogy" is quite strongly NWOBHM influenced! The vocals here are also a punkish screamy style, although wilder and more spastic than Crimson Spectre's.
