EP REVIEW: Wowod – Somn – Split

Posted on by

 

Split albums – content shared by two or more bands, as opposed to an album by one band that’s logistically divided into obvious sections – are effective ways to show off the firepower a label wields. But they can also act as a double-edged sword if one band categorically steals the show.
