Warp Chamber rose from Olympia in 2016, crawling out of basements with a fascination for science fiction nightmares and the twisted visions of early Morbid Angel and Demilich. Their path has been chaotic, full of collapses, rebirths, tours across North America and a slow return to recording after years of silence. Benothing formed a little later in Finland, driven by their own hunger to stretch old school death metal into stranger terrain without stripping away its ugliness. Their early EP proved their interest in unusual structures and warped atmospheres. Both bands have grown through turbulence and experimentation, and this split meets them at a moment where each has sharpened its identity.

“Warp III” brings Warp Chamber back into recorded form with a track that pulls from their sci fi horror DNA. The sound comes across raw and aggressive, with a steady surge of rhythm that keeps shifting under the riffing. The band leans into their grimier roots, and the performance has a rugged energy that fits their long road back into activity. The track hints at darker, more tangled work coming in the future, and the production keeps everything grounded and hostile without smoothing out the edges.

Benothing’s “Deathways” goes in another direction, stepping into hallucinatory spaces while keeping the violence firmly in place. Their blend of early death metal pressure with strange, drifting elements creates a warped journey that still hits hard. The performance cuts through with intensity, and the layers of sound give the song a disorienting pull without turning it into a puzzle. The track shows how far the band has pushed its instincts since their EP, suggesting that the next material they are preparing could dig even deeper into these shadowy ideas.

The split works because the two bands approach death metal from different angles while staying true to their origins. Warp Chamber offers raw aggression shaped by years of turbulence, and Benothing provides a darker spiral into their own disordered imagination. The result is a brief release that gives a strong impression of where both bands are heading, one through brute energy, the other through warped atmosphere. It serves as a promising prelude for whatever each band decides to unleash next.
