Hummingbird Of Death + Titanarum/Give Praise Records/2011 Split CD Review



  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  between  Boise, Idaho's  Hummingbird  Of  Death  and  Titanarum  from  California  which  was  released  by  Give  Praise  Records  in  2011  and  we  will  start  the  review  with  Hummingbird  Of  Death  that  plays  a  style  that  mixes  Powergrind/Crust core  and  punk  rock  together.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  midpaced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  in,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  power  violence/grindcore  and  punk  rocjk  together,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  primitive  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  hardcore  style  shouting  and  deep  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound.

  In  my  opinion  Hummingbird  Of  Death  are  a  very  good  sounding  powerviolence/grindcore/opunk  rock  hybrid  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECEMMONDED TRACK  "The  Wold  Needs  This".  RECEMMONDED.

  Next  up  is  Titanarum  that  plays  a  mixture  of  crust/grindcore  mixed  in  with  some  punk.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  powerful  sound.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  crust/grind  with  punk  rock  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  crustcore  shouts  and  growls  mixed  in  with  some  deep  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  and  hateful  thmes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong  and  heavy  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Titanarum  are  a  very  good  crust/grindcore/punk  rock  hybrid  with  the  best  music  on this  split  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECEMMONDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Jeckyll  And  Hyde"  and  "Why  Is  It".  RECEMMOND

  In  my  opinion  this  is  a  good  split  album  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  crust,  grind  and  punk  rock,  you should  check  this  out.  RECEMMONDED  BUY.
