With four destructive tracks from Das Oath and five ragers from Ampere, this album is a head on collision of two of hardcore's noisiest present day innovators. Originally released as a limited LP for their recent East Coast tour together, the vinyl quickly disappeared.

The myth that Das Oath are covering the Offspring on their all-covers split with Ampere is perpetuated. It's not true! Anyone who has the first Killing Joke LP will recognize track 3 on the Das Oath/Ampere split as a cover of Killing Joke's "Wardance." However, since the record came without a track list, someone on vivalavinyl.org decided to play a joke years ago when a thread was started to determine who the covers on the record were originally by, and listed Das Oath's third track as "Why Don't You Get A Job" by The Offspring. Somehow, amazingly, no one caught this joke, and it has been repeated ubiquitously on many different internet sites since. Don't be fooled--Das Oath are not covering The Offspring. If you wish further confirmation, simply listen to the Das Oath song, then watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBm56qSS58Q

Ampere's new full length, Like Shadows, sounds like a continuation of All Our Tomorrows End Today, which arguably was their best release as a whole. They had some preview songs up on soundcloud for a minute and one of those tracks was a second part to a AOTET song, Escapism. This is the first release the band has put out since their split with Off Minor back in '08, so of course this shit is a BIG FUCKING DEAL. It seemed that Ampere took a back seat to Will Killingsworths recording profession and his slew of recent side projects (Weaklings, Failures, Vaccine).

Like Shadows is ridiculously good. I'm serious. Obviously anything this band puts out will be bad-ass, but this is a really solid album, which like the new Beau Navire, does not have any fluff tracks on it. 15 fucking awesome tracks ranging from like 20 seconds to like 2 minutes. I don't really know what else to say about the album. If you like Ampere you already know what you are getting yourself into: no one else sounds like Ampere. The release for this record is coming up in Easthampton right? Its like in the first half of June I think. They are also playing the You and I reunion in July. I would imagine that Clean Plate is putting out this record, but there might be some other people involved. If you like the fucking record buy it. -chuglife
