EVIL WRATH / THE TRUE ENDLESS / GROMM Rape Their Souls with Black Metal Wrath CD

Prepare for a triple-headed assault of pure, uncompromising underground darkness. This 2011 split, aggressively titled Rape Their Souls with Black Metal Wrath, brings together three distinct forces from the global Black Metal scene: Evil Wrath (Canada), The True Endless (Italy), and Gromm (Ukraine). Released via the cult label Slava Productions, this CD is a relic of the era when Black Metal was defined by its raw, hateful energy and total devotion to the abyss. The ritual begins with Canada’s Evil Wrath. After the unsettling instrumental intro The Pro-Fanatic Art of Self Destruction, the band dives into a trio of tracks, Time to Die, Messe noire, and Storm of Evil, that exemplify the cold, biting atmosphere of the North American forest, blended with a classic, thrashy venom. Next up is Italy’s legendary The True Endless. Known for their prolific output in the underground, they contribute four tracks of masterful, mid-tempo blackened filth. From the hellish invitation of Open the Passage to Hell to the epic, fading echoes of Perished and Forgotten, their segment showcases why they are staples of the Italian scene: raw production, haunting melodies, and a relentless old school spirit. The split concludes with the Ukrainian titans Gromm. Their contribution is a whirlwind of misanthropic aggression and cold technicality. Tracks like Iniquity Is My Halo and the blasphemous Eucharistic Deophagia provide a perfect, crushing finale to this nearly 70-minute journey through the darkest corners of the earth. This CD is an essential artifact for collectors of Split releases and fans of Beastcraft, Horna, and the rawest outputs of the Black Legions. If you want a record that captures the true, unpolished essence of the international underground, this three-way split is a mandatory addition to your racks.
