Iskalde Morket/Submerged From Light/2013 EP Review


  Iskalde  Morket  are  a  1  man  band  from  the  United  Kingdom  that  plays  a  very  progressive,  raw  and  primitive form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2013  ep  "Submerged  From  Light".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,   as  for  the  keyboards  when  they  are  utilized  they  bring  a  very  dark  and  avant  garde  sound  to  the  recording  as  well  as  some  drone  sound  effects  being  used  on  the  last  song.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  raw  and  primitive  sounding  combining  both  the  old  school  and  modern  sound  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  progressive  and  melodic  elements  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  and  progressive  sounding  black  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams  along  with  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  cold  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Iskalde  Morket  are  a  very  great  and  original  sounding  progressive,  raw  and  primitive  black metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "A  Manifestation  Of  Cacophony"  and  "Disentergation  Of  Ether".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
