Up to a point, and yes, it is largely like that - the guy behind Benighted Leams is interesting, did cover art for Dimmu's Stormblast, and used to run a UK-based label called Supernal that first released Drudkh etc over here, but it all got a bit weird when a big part of the label seemed more interested in selling Savitri Devi and Miguel Serrano books and similar stuff! He eventually packed it all in and is now obsessed with bodybuilding, the last time I checked his social media out, but did mention he was working on new BL riffs so who knows. I think he even set up a Bandcamp for it, so you can hear the stuff easily.
Thanks for sharing all this info! Hope he gets back into creating strange riffs.

Hadn't heard of UoU before, assumed it was sludge for the first twenty or so seconds! I dig this sort of chaotic noise rock (? I guess it's not tech-y enough for mathcore) in small doses, reminds a little me of these guys who are obviously on my mind currently:
90s era hardcore/grindcore is what they were described as. Pretty interesting I thought. r/hardcore and r/metalcore is in love with all those boring Bring Me the Horizon clones so I've found much heavier and older stuff in the odd core general on /mu/, which is how I came to UoU.

I will certainly check out the rest of this EP! Your review mentioned Coalesce, which I can certainly see, I also heard Portal, and really this isn't too far off from the more grinding Full of Hell/Nails tracks I've heard, though your review notes other tracks are more technical. Cool way to bridge genres in a way that doesn't seem awkward.
This band was apparently a major influence on Napalm Death.
