Mountain is pleased to announce the release of a split LP between two of West Virginia’s finest hardcore outfits: TURN AROUND NORMAN and THE MINUS TIDE. The LP features two sets of blistering emotive hardcore punk, beautiful color covers, and a full-size insert. Both bands have caused a stir with earlier releases but take it up a notch here. THE MINUS TIDE are a metal-tinged sextet (double guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards) from Wheeling who’ve been compared to everything from CONVERGE to IRON MAIDEN. Morgantown’s TURN AROUND NORMAN lay down a melodic assault that has drawn them many comparisons to both the mid-90s Gravity sound and current bands such as ORCHID or YAPHET KOTTO. Dual (male/female) vocals are screamed and sung with an intensity equal to the driving music. We’re happy to have the chance to bring more West Virginian insanity into to the world.
