This is a review of a split ep between Washington D.C's Vestiges and Indonesia's Ghaust which was released by Replenish Records and we will start of the review with Vestiges a band that has been featured in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of post black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine raw and primitive sounding black metal with post rock to create a sound of their own with some melodic riffing being used at times, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from deep growls to high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and dark sound with the song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding song from Vestiges and if you are a fan of atmospheric, post black metal, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Ghaust a band that plays a very instrumental form of sludge/post/doom metal.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with only a small amount of fast drumming and blast beats being present on this recording, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine doom, sludge, and post metal together to create a sound of t heir own along with some melody and clean playing being used at times and there are no guitar solos and leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from t heir side of the recording with the music being all instrumental, while the song themes cover darkness, as for the production it has a very strong and powerful sound.
In my opinion Ghaust are a very great sounding hybrid of sludge, doom and post metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Sleep And Release". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of black metal, sludge and post metal, you should add this recording to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY.
