The Inquiry Last Scenery / Sete Star Sept split cassette, released in March 2014, is a potent collaboration between Malaysia’s Inquiry Last Scenery and Japan’s Sete Star Sept, both known for their intense contributions to the powerviolence, screamo, grindcore and noise scenes. Issued by Verruckter, Quiet Still Dead Records, and Noisemongers Records (catalog number NOIS11), this release exemplifies the raw energy and DIY ethos characteristic of underground music.

This split cassette compellingly showcases two bands from different parts of Asia converging through a shared passion for extreme music. The juxtaposition of Inquiry Last Scenery's structured ferocity with Sete Star Sept's chaotic noise creates a dynamic and intense listening experience. For fans of emo hardcore, powerviolence, grindcore and noise, this release offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the underground scenes of Malaysia and Japan.

Sete Star Sept, a prolific Japanese duo, contributes two tracks: “Betrayal Of The Name To Say Future” and “All Of The Things That Come Up.” Known for their chaotic and improvisational approach to noisegrind, their music is characterized by explosive drumming, distorted bass lines, and guttural vocals. Their contribution to this split continues their tradition of pushing the boundaries of noise and grindcore, offering a stark contrast to Inquiry Last Scenery's more structured aggression, emoviolence expression.
