Asfast/Kutin ~ Split
Ventil Records returns with a split EP from Asfast and label co-founder Peter Kutin. The EP presents a dark face to the world, and is a reminder of the encroaching season: the long nights, the foreboding clouds. Tonally, the disc meshes well with

All We Expected / Raum Kingdom ~ Split
With an A side from an instrumental post-rock band and a B side from a guttural post-metal band, it’s easy to guess which we’ll like best. The surprise is that the two make such a lovely racket together. Belgium’s All We
