Reviews:
"Unholy Grave: Japan's grindcore maniacs release yet another split. Sounds like a live recording or purposefully recorded super raw. Archagathus: They hail from Canada and (sing with) cookie monster (vocals) with the best of them. From guttural grunts to screams, they blast some mean ass grind. This band reminds me of PROGERIA meets NAPALM DEATH."

"Archagathus are pretty much the Canadian version of Agathocles. Everything from the crude, punky grinding, mince-core to the dripping logo! And if there's a Canadian version of AG...well they might as well do a split with the Japanese grinders Unholy Grave, right? These UG trax are rehearsal versions of some songs with members of the band Gate on guitar and drums. Sounds like the same old UG to me!
