Altars/Whip & The Body Split 7"

Album: Altars/Whip & The Body Split 7"
Release: 2009
Label: Satan's Din

Tracklist:

1. Altars - Wood And Rope
2. Whip & The Body - Black Dahlia Pig

It's not surprising that Altars, with its brand of blackened noise, finally did a split with a noise act and, fortunately for us, it's Brooklyn's Whip & The Body, which features members of Drunkdriver. Uncertain over whether this would be released as a tape or a 7" or not at all, the oft-excellent Satan's Din comes through and has put this out on vinyl.

It becomes clear that the uncertainty surrounding its release is just odd because both bands contribute pure gold. I would definitely call "Wood And Rope" the best Altars song released as of yet, hands down. It's louder, filthier, and just better conceived than most of Altars' previous material. Whip & The Body throw down some bludgeoning. start-stop power electronics that, while nothing groundbreaking, is still an excellent listen. Their 7" on Dais was also tight, so I'm stoked for what they've got planned for the future.

If you're into Altars, you've probably already heard it. If not, you should hurry because you will not be disappointed. Except maybe for the packaging. That part's not so hot. Oh well!
