snag + COMA REGALIA - "MMXXIII" (split 12inch)

This is a split 2023 album by two bands from the US, snag and Coma Regalia.

Even though it is a split, each band has 5 full songs on the album, and the contents are quite spirited as a work of art.

Both snag and their previous album were pretty good, but you can tell just from the first two songs that the content of this split is beyond that. I also liked the way the band pushed through the intense emo violence with raw and beautiful guitars, and the changes from the third song onward that seemed to give a glimpse of what's next for the band. There is enough drama on just one side of the record.

I have the image that Coma Regalia puts out too much music, especially split albums, but the contents of this album are not like that. The keyword is RAW.

USのsnag、Coma Regaliaの2バンドによるスプリット2023年作。
スプリットとはいえ、それぞれフルで5曲ずつ収録されていて作品としてはかなり気合が入っている内容。snagも前作アルバムもかなり良かったけど、このスプリットの内容はそれを超えてるのは冒頭の2曲だけで伝わると思う。激情的なエモバイオレンスをRAWかつ美しいギターで押し流す演奏と3曲目以降のバンドの次の姿をチラ見せするかのような変化も良かった。レコードの片面だけで十分にドラマがある。Coma Regaliaは音源出しすぎなイメージがあって特にスプリット作はアルバムに比べてラフだなぇと思うことが多数なんですが、本作の内容は流石にそんなことはなかった。4曲目以降あたりが新機軸な感じもある。キーワードはRAW。
