Horror Pain Gore Death Productions announces a ferocious split album uniting Japanese crossover thrash acts LOWCARD DE LA MORTE and KILLSEDUCTION. ‚Kill De La Morte‘ arrives May 29 on CD and digital formats, with singles and pre-orders already live.Horror Pain Gore Death Productions is set to unleash one of the more distinctive split releases of the year, pairing two Japanese crossover thrash outfits under the title ‚Kill De La Morte‘, scheduled for release on May 29 on CD and digital formats.
LOWCARD DE LA MORTE hail from Tromaville, Nagoya, and have been operating since 2012. The band contribute six tracks of high-velocity speedcore informed by cult horror cinema, drawing comparisons to the worlds of Toxic Avenger and Frankenhooker. Their single ‚Brain Wash’n 1!2!3!4!‘ is already streaming and serves as a sharp introduction to their frantic, B-movie-drenched sensibility.
KILLSEDUCTION emerged from the ashes of Retortion Terror and bring serious underground credentials to the table. The band features guitarist Takafumi Matsubara, known from GRIDLINK and Barren Path, alongside members drawn from World Downfall, Grindsurf, and Worm. Their five contributions lean into the crossover tradition of Suicidal Tendencies and Nuclear Assault while maintaining a distinctly Japanese edge. Their single ‚Zenjyari‘ is also available to stream now.
The full eleven-track split can be pre-ordered on CD for ten dollars via the Horror Pain Gore Death webstore, with a digital download available for six dollars and sixty-six cents on Bandcamp. Merch bundles including t-shirts and trucker hats for both bands are also available. A Spotify pre-save link is live at ffm.to/lowcard.
