Here's a split from 2 North American bands playing raw produced chaotic black metal in the vein of BEHERIT and BLASPHEMY. BLACK WITCHERY's side pummels through 5 tracks including a BLASPHEMY cover ("Demoniac"). BW also has a definite DARK THRONE (1991-1995) influence. Really grim vocals as well. CONQUEROR then blasts into 5 tracks that sound like Canada's heir apparent to BLASPHEMY (I hear this band's guitarist is a member of the reformed BLASPHEMY). This is most of their demo "Antichrist Superiority", but minus the SLAUGHTER cover song and with one new track. CONQUEROR also features a former member of black/grind legends CREMATION (fucking GREAT band imo). Essential release, but those who only like well produced crap need not bother...
