Effigy/Aparat-split 7"

Effigy vs Aparat and metallic crust vs blasting hardcore attack. Another piece of brutal shit coming from Japan: "We knows our guilty/Lana on loppumassa"-split 7'' was released by Forest Records in 2000, on Effigy's side "We knows our guilty" appears as title while on Aparat side there is no any title.
Effigy are the crusties from Takamatsu-City and here they contribute two tracks of their familiar metallic crust reflecting the influences of 80's UK crust blending Amebix, Axegrinder and the likes in fast/midpaced tempos, metal edged riffs, harsh vocals, nice basslines and metallic heaviness.
Aparat is a band i know absolute nothing. There was a band named Aparat from Finland but its another band. The Aparat here sing in Finnish but they are not from Finland,they are Japanese and contribute five tracks of aggressive hardcore . Anyway, if i messed it about them, please make a comment to set things right..
Effigy sound heavy in the vein of typical metallic crust while Aparat's sound is raw hardcore in the vein of Disclose, choose the side you want, both sound great
And here some more Effigy: searching back the 7inchcrust pages you will find the split with Halvaistys and "From Hell" 7"(a.k.a. "Grinding Metal Massacre"), then there is Slobo's Only-in-it-for-the-music and the 10" split w Hellshock and the "Evil fragments" 12" ep. And finally you can dowload Effigy's video from "All crusties spending loud night 2002" dvd HERE (32 Mb, .avi, 5:35")
