Here's a cool little death metal split that gives us a good introduction to two French bands, Cadaveric Fumes and Skelethal. Cadaveric Fumes offer two songs on side A and their style is relatively fast and catchy, jumpy death metal that doesn't stop to take a breath, the kind that gets the foot tapping and the head banging. The growls are kind of raspy and blend in well. I wish more death growlers would adopt such a style. Skelethal also offer two songs on side B and their style is heavier, slower and relying more on atmosphere and I'd say they have more thrash leanings. The vocals remind me a little bit of Canada's Outre-Tombe. Ultimately this is a nice little split that doesn't contain anything groundbreaking but four cuts of nicely done death metal.
