Human Demise/Worth The Pain - Split
A Dutch hardcore band and a Finnish hardcore band, teaming up on this vinyl 7”. Human Demise out of the Netherlands is more in the dark Clevo-styled metalcore and Worth The Pain is fast ripping metalcore. Good combination of two bands that are different, but suit each other perfectly.
This Dutch band has been around for a while and has earned a good live reputation. Considering these three songs, I totally understand their solid reputation. Their side starts off with an eerie sounding intro, which slowly goes into a slow, rolling, dark, heavy riff. This song called ‘Agony’ is a short song, with just one line of text, but is by far the best song of this 7”. The song ‘Agony’ turns straight away into the second song called ‘Anxiety’, which is way more straight forward, but still considered mid-tempo. Bands that come in mind are definitely Integrity, Ringworm and Catharsis. Dark, heavy, midtempo metalcore. Score : 82
Worth The Pain is from Finland and has a little bit different approach to their hardcore. This band has been around for over a decade and you can hear the close-knit musicianship. It’s slightly more oldschool hardcore infested, mixed with some crunchy metalcore breakdowns and riffs. Think of Madball jamming together with Earth Crisis. Also a band like Terror comes to mind, but they don’t reach the level of intensity and power this band has. These two songs are a great way to get known with this band, but could use a bit more intensity and own identity. Score : 56
Great split 7” overall, with Human Demise being the better one of this 7”.
