Communion Of Thieves have been turning heads this past year or so with their brand of devestating d-beat blast, black metal intensity and punk ethic, and these two tracks showcase their style perfectly. It sounds a bit like "Under A Funeral Moon" era Darkthrone giving hardcore a go. Top marks! Dendritic Arbor are more in straightforward proposition, combining elements of grind, hardcore and noise to a complex, near-avant whole. Everything comes together to a satisfying whole though with some nice riffs and grooves going on.
