This is a review of a split album between Chile's Blackvoid and Turkey's Unhappy called "Born To Suicide" which was self released in 2013 and we will start the review with Blackvoid a 1 man band that plays a very depressive form of black metal.
"Bleak December" which is the first song on their side of the split begins with dark and heavy slow, black metal guitar riffs and drum beats and a few seconds later grim sounding and depressive black metal screams start to kick in along with some melodic guitar riffing.
"Ashes" opens up with some slow black guitar riffs and drum beats along with some grim screams a few seconds later which also leads to some dark and depressing sounding melodies getting added to the guitar riffing and the song sticks to a slower direction. and halfway through the song you can hear some clean parts being mixed in with the heavier parts.
"A Lonely Journey To A Great Dark Past" begins with slow, and dark melodic guitar riffs along with some drum beats which also leads to some grim black metal vocals a few seconds later and then the song goes into a more heavier and depressive direction.
'This Sorrow Crawling Under My Skin" which is also the last song on their side of the split opens up with depressive black metal guitar riffs, drum beats and spoken word parts and a few seconds alter grim vocals start to kick in and after awhile the guitar riffing also starts to add in some melody.
Song lyrics cover dark and depressive themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it
In my opinion Blackvoid are a very great sounding depressive black metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bleak December" and "This Sorrow Crawling Under My Skin". RECOMMENDED BUY.
Next up is Unhappy a project that h as been featured recently in the zine and plays a depressive form of black metal.
"Everything Is The Same" which is also the first song on their side of the split opens up with slow and heavy depressive black metal guitar riffs, drum beats and grim screams and the song sticks to a more slow direction.
"Karma After Suicide" begins with dark and heavy depressive black metal guitar riffs and drum beats and a few seconds later grim vocals start to kick in and the song sticks to the same style of riffs till the end.
"No One Cares" opens up with some dark and depressive sounding black metal guitar riffs and drum beats before adding in grim vocals and screams and the song sticks to the same formula that is utilized on the other songs.
"Winter" which is also the last song on the album begins with slow and dark depressive black metal guitar riffs and drums and then the grim and high pitched suicidal black metal screams kick in.
Songs lyrics cover depressive and suicidal themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Unhappy and if you are a fan of depressive black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Everything Is The Same" and "No One Cares". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of depressive black metal, RECOMMENDED BUY.
