Häpeä / Misanthropic Minds split EP
Head-splitting hardcore split from Nova Scotia’s MISANTHROPIC MINDS and Oulu’s HÄPEÄ. Both bands absolutely rip, beginning with MISANTHROPIC MINDS on the A-sde. You know in cartoons when two characters get into a fight and become a big ball of dust with an arm swinging here and a leg kicking there? That’s pretty much the vibe from MISANTHROPIC MINDS, a chaotic ball of energy that is fully cranked up start to finish, including the vocals which are absolutely rabid. On the B-side, HÄPEÄ maintains the same frantic energy, while featuring slightly more intelligible vocals and a little bit of breathing room on the excellent “Kello Käy”, the only track on the EP that has a slightly slower tempo, and I must stress slightly. A remarkable single destined for legendary status, and one any respectable collector should add to their stack.
