LYRICS:

Here are two hardcore bands I highly respect. I will star with Catharsis. They contributed for this split just one but amazing, almost ten minutes long song titled ''Arson's Prayer''. It starts with a piano and sounds similar to the intro on their firs album titled ''Samsara''. After the intro breaks out fast driving drumming twisting with harsh screaming vocal, and melancholic guitar rhythms in the background. That leads to a long even more melancholic bass leading part loaded with spoken words and some powerful beats from time to time. This is definitely my favourite Catharsis song they ever did and it has amazing dense lyric, which is a call to revolt. Newborn are devoted to more melodic and modern hardcore sound. Fast, beautiful and catchy… you have to love what they're doing. Lyrics are not as complicated as Catharsis one but still very thoughtful written. The main message is escaping from the daily life formed by conformity. The only bad thing about this split is its length, which last barely 20 minutes. CRIMETHINC.

CATHARSIS

Odličen ameriški hardcore bend s še bolj odličnimi sporočili, ki je pa nažalost pred kratkim razpadel... Catharsis sem videl v živo kar nekajkrat in vedno so me prijetno navdušili...zlasti njihove besede med komadi...Ajdovščina 06/12/99, Ajdovščina 24/11/01
