The new disgusting creature was born on OBSKURE SOMBRE RECORDS - the new split release with GHAST's ominous appearance. GHAST / RAPE-X, total five tracks for almost 70(!) minutes total playing time.

Side A of the Split consists of GHAST's two monsters: "Le Noye" - 21+ minutes torturous noise epic & "Tetanos" - ultra sick and ascetic doom mutilation. Honestly, after this release i'm already not sure what kind of a band GHAST is - doom or noise. "Le Noye" is a horrifying grotesque sketch of withering life and madness! Utter dark ambient wave on the background sounds like a harbinger of your heartbeating stop. On this sombre foundation GHAST mercilessly put a layers of blasting horror. Almost immutable droning noise hindrance like a pollution of radioconnection channel along the whole track... A certain similarity of human voices somewhere for thousand miles away reach your brain by awful ugly distorted echo. Don't even try to be saved. Evil and darkness will saturate your flesh and you will ceaselessly rot. This stuff reminds me SHAMAN's album "Rituals in the Rainforest". Really, a lot of same moments, and same feelings.
In the end of "Le Noye" suddenly appearing a bleating of goats... Damn!

The next GHAST's monster is about almost 12 minutes. "Tetanos" has extremely simple drumset, but gigantic disgusting influence on brains.
A short prelude of noise irritants mixture and then torturous filthy doom oppression. Damn! This band becames uglier with every new release and i'm afraid even to imagine what will be the next embodiment of GHAST. Recommended only for those freaks who love an extreme mutationed alloy of ascetic doom and dangerous noise. For real sick freaks!

So GHAST will crush a half of your head. Another half will be crushed by the opponent of canadians on this Split.

Side B is a territory of RAPE-X. Three tracks are united by one title 'Civil Servant'. Chapter one named "The Cop", chapter two named "The Commissioner", chapter three named "The Mayor". Well what can i say? Much more agressive noise attack than canadians had. A powerful constant noise beam oriented into infinity along with awful mutant harsh voices will wreck an each molecule of your person. Of course "The Mayor" is the apogee of this noise violence. I am almost sure that you will not stand this twenty-minutes-punishment. Because a psyche of the most humans is not prepared for this kind of mockery. Definitely your mind will grow turbid after this sadistic stuff.

The Split comes in standard box with good printed covers. All artwork mostly of dark red/black colours. I think the dead and stained with blood hand on the front cover hints at consequences of listening the Split...

So this ominous CD recommended only for sadomasochists, music maniacs with mutilated brains and for those who steadily degrades. Now you're warned.
