This split-EP pairs up two of Eulogy Recordings more aggressive hardcore signings for a short, sharp shock to the system that inevitably ends up contrasting and comparing each band's abilities against the other. First up is West Palm Beach, FL's latest uprising sons, Toetag, who reveal a distinct connection to underrated New York hardcore favorites Sheer Terror with the hopelessly cynical yet not altogether humor-averse lyrics (humor as in mocking their would-be fans) that grace bludgeoning musical indictments like "Only Yourself to Blame," "Only the Strong Survive," and the especially amusing, alcoholic's self-assessment that is "The Bottle." Bringing up the rear, New Jersey veterans Shattered Realm turn up the heat (and, to be honest, the overall songwriting quality) with the far less predictable riff switcheroos, colossal power chord preludes, and thrash-like double-kick-drum flurries punctuating nihilistic assaults like "Hate for the World," "Fight to Win," and the doubly threatening, rap-delivered "Bring the Violence Back/Every Man for Himself."
