QUARTO POTERE / TETANO split EP

This is a split with two new bands coming from Italy and deliver some interesting tunes: Quarto Potere (Forth Power) hail from Cagliari, capital city of Sardinia. They formed in 2006 by former members of Bornsick, Vile Future, GxAxP, Imposizione Facoltativa and Abominio, according to their myspace they have a ninetrack cdr and this split is their first official release. Here theydeliver five tracks of anarcho-crust full of energy with some nice metal hints in the guitar works and screamed/shouting vocals. The sound iscrunchy and heavy, aggression and wrath are always there and tempos vary from fast to slower parts. Hiroshina has become my favorite track ofthese days (check the video), apart from all these, they seem to be cool guys and deeply into DIY ethic and anti-authoritian movement
Tetano (tetanus) come from Sulmona, a city surrounded by Appenine mountains,they seem to be a new band too, there ‘s no any info (myspace orwhatever) on the web. They contribute three tracks of brutal crust withfilthy guitar sound, there are some breaks with tempo changes, gruffbrutal vocals, the bass is sometimes overtuned and that gives a sickfeeling.
Both bands sing in Italian and deal with the usual topics(anti-police, war etc). The split was selflreleased in co-operation with Sickpunx distro/zine and ToscanaAnarcoPunx Productions, it comes in gate fold coverincluding a sixteen page booklet and was kindly offered by Robi,vocalist of Quarto Potere (thanks dude!).”
