TERMINAL NATION / KRUELTY: 20 Buck Spin Releases The Ruination Of Imperialism Split LP By Two Metallic Hardcore Acts; Album Out Digitally Today + Vinyl/Cassette Preorders Posted

June 3, 2022 Infrared Magazine News, Press Releases Comments Off

The second split release of the year from 20 Buck Spin, The Ruination Of Imperialism sees the return of TERMINAL NATION for the first time since the crushing Holocene Extinction LP released in the bleak pandemic Summer of 2020. Joining them on the split is Japanâs ultra-heavy kingpins KRUELTY, fresh off tour dates in both the US and Europe after releasing the furious A Dying Truth and Immortal Nightmare in 2020.

Reinforcing the fact of being one of the heaviest bands on the planet, TERMINAL NATION offers three new tracks on the A-side, declaring all-out war on the imperial masters pulling the worldâs strings. With the darkness of death metal and Bolt Throwerâs tank march matched with the ferocious power of the hardcore breakdown, the songs are teeming with a nationâs rage on the brink of boiling over into full blown chaos.

KRUELTY has similarly found the sweet spot where hardcore meets old-school steamrolling death and doom metal. Their two B-side tracks âSuppressionâ and âUnder Your Pressureâ reveal some of the bandâs most punishing, structure-leveling riffs and bloodied beatdowns to date.

TERMINAL NATIONâs three tracks were recorded by Jason Tedford and mixed by Ryan Bram, while KRUELTYâs two songs were recorded by Ryuhi Inari and mixed by Taylor Young. The record was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege and completed with cover Art by Wyrmwalk.

Additionally, each vocalist also appears with guest vocals on a track from the other, with Tatami of KRUELTY appearing on TERMINAL NATIONâs âSacrificial Capitalâ and Stan of TERMINAL NATION appearing on KRUELTYâs âUnder Your Pressure.â Heaviest split of 2022? Easily. Fans of Xibalba, Bolt Thrower, All Out War, Bulldoze, Disgrace, and Nails, this is a must-hear record.
