Hadak Ura / Voice of Crows split (2016)

After their promising first release last year (read HERE my review ) this split with Voice of Crows is Hadak Ura new release. Hadak Ura's side of the split starts really well with an exiting short first song bringing together hardcore, black metal and Slayer (a scream "à la Tom Araya", the drumming and the wild guitar soloing), then we have a good black / d-beat grind song, then the noise component of the band appears on the slower third song.  And the fourth song is a good sup up of  what we heard before. The "blackened hardcore" mix is not new and we get used to it but Hadak Ura manages to do it in a sharper style than what most bands are doing.

The Voice of Crows side offer more traditionnal 90' style hardcore. Not bad, but more generic.

Hadak Ura - Forever dying // Forever dead (2015)

Hadak Ura is a new band with two guys from Vertigo Index. What they play in Hadak Ura is still grind related (especially some drumming parts) but there's also a lot of hardcore elements (vocals, mid tempo groove), hardcore of a raw and very dark kind. their first release (digital only for the moment) called Forever dying // Forever dead sounds really intense and coming from the guts, something more violent and "real" than most of those "blackened hardcore" bands that appeared these years. Grind school is the best school!
My only complain would be that the samples / dark ambient parts last a bit too long maybe (no big deal). Otherwise it's really good.
Recommended!
