Disciple In My Own Image

More A389 Records stuff, first the Gehenna/Blind To Faith split 7". More of this smudgey, shitty coloured wax. It is what it is. What you'd expect from Gehenna, this time around though, they're leaning more heavily on the black metal stylings than they have more recently. The recording is also rather lo-fi. So I guess you could say that this is somewhat a return to old form, not that they've progressed a huge amount over the years.Blind To Faith play what you may expect for a split and a release from this label: metallic, holy terror influenced stuff. Definite rips of all the favourites, including Gehenna. Again, a lo-fi recording too.
And this new Hatewaves 7", 'Taste The Beast'. Black wax. I don't know really what to think of this band. They've been compared to alot of stuff that I like, but there's a definite cheese ball aesthetic going on here with that front cover, song titles and lyrics in general, Sometimes I might like that kind of thing, but I'm just not feeling it here. The music is okay, but nothing special. Blast beats, some mosh bits, but a muddy recording that detracts from the power over all.

And here's the three recent A389 releases on this vinyl that I was talking about.
