At least that’s what we’re told. Well, this has drums and shit, so that’s something.

Samae Koskinen from one of Lehtisalo's projects Steel Mammoth joined the fold as bassist, and Split Cranium was born. Even if you weren't aware of the origin tale, it would still be impossible to judge the quartet's self-titled debut as a straight-up collection of crust punk. Turner and Lehtisalo are both known for stretching and imploding genres, and as you might expect, this eight-song, 25-minute Kurt Ballou-produced "LP" isn't a spattering of your typical d-beat.

The performances, while not bearing a level of technicality that would be worth writing home about, are perfect for what Split Cranium are going for here. Speedy, face-melting, and catchy crust punk riffing dominates the music, accentuated by a spirited drum performance from Jukka Kröger and an abundance of those signature half-shouted, half-growled vocals that have been appearing less and less frequently ever since Celestial was released in 2000
