[Review] RAZÖR FÖRGE / CHAOSHORDE - Split [2022] Vicious Witch Records

 

An interesting 7" vinyl release to get the new Empyrion Fanzine off the ground. Brought you you by Vicious Witch Records, UK Heavy Metal one man project RAZÖR FÖRGE and Greek Speed/Thrash/Black Metal duo CHAOSHORDE combine for eight minutes of old school fury and savagery!

First up the lo-fi heavy metal onslaught of RAZÖR FÖRGE, who build anticipation with a short rousing intro track entitled 'Sharpen the Blade', before kicking straight into 'Profane Savage', a mid-paced, bass heavy primal sounding ode to the Heavy Metal classics of yesteryear. Sporting primitive sounding production and some technical riff-age later on, RAZÖR FÖRGE is pure Heavy Metal worship with some textbook lyrics thrown in. "Profane Savage, hammer strikes the anvil. Profane Savage, warrior of Metal. Profane Savage, blasphemous fire starter. Profane Savage, total fuckin' desaster!"

Onto CHAOSHORDE and headlong straight into fast paced dark Speed Metal barbarity with a lot of technical guitar play thrown in. Deep throaty growled vocals, murky production and an excellent full throttle drumming display, as well as no thrills, all action riff-age throughout. Again the lyrics are a throw back and suit the release perfectly. I'll let the band have the final words. "Chäos Räisers, unchained from Hellfire, Chäos Räisers, outlaws noisy bastards, Chäos Räisers, devoted to unholy sound, Chäos Räisers, Tyrants of the underground".
