Gangrene Discharge has always had great riffs, but the first few tracks of the GD side of this split are especially entertaining because 1) the first track is a banjo intro and what's not to love about that? and 2) the following two tracks contain a mix of pitch shifted and natural vocals. I don't know what Bobby was doing or why he kept it limited to only those two tracks, but I think it sounds really good.
I wasn't very enthusiastic about the first Putrefuck material I heard (their first demo, which also served as their side of the split with Cannibe and some others that I posted a few years ago), but this is pretty good. The drumming is tighter and they sound overall more focused and intense. I think they benefit from having a less noisy guitar sound here too. The Catasexual Urge Motivation cover doesn't touch the original obviously, but it is good and makes a good closer for this split. I'll have to check out what they've been up to since this split at some point.
Henfucker Records wasn't active for very long and I don't think this split is available anywhere anymore.
