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.
nicely put! I downloaded the EP a few days ago. Really good stuff! Some of those guitar riffs are incredible!
