"Scion A/V Presents: Housecore Horror Film Festival 2013 EP" is a 2 track, 9:58 minutes long EP release by US extreme metal act Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals. The EP was released in October 2013 through Housecore Records in 10" vinyl format and digitally (for free download) by Scion A/V Metal. "Scion A/V Presents: Housecore Horror Film Festival 2013 EP" was released to celebrate/promote "The first annual Housecore Horror Film Festival", which was held from the 24th - 27th of October 2013. A festival co-founded by lead vocalist Phil Anselmo.

The two tracks on the EP continue the aggressive, noisy and adventurous extreme metal style that the band also played on their July 2013 debut full-length studio album "Walk Through Exits Only". Aggressive shouting vocals, raw riffing, tempo changes and a blatant disregard of vers/chorus structures. On paper it sounds great and fortunately that´s also the case when actually listening to the music. I don´t think the quality of the two tracks are as high as the tracks on "Walk Through Exits Only", and to my ears they could have been outtakes from that album, but especially "Pigs Kissing Pigs" is quite a great track. The sound production is rather noisy and distorted, which really provide the music with an extreme sound. Upon conclusion this is a good quality EP, that´s well worth your time if you liked the debut album. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
