This is a review of a split album between Chile's Undertaker Of The Damned and Dies Irae called "Vomitus et Serpentium" which was released by Australis Records and we will start off the review with Undertaker Of The Damned a band that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very old school and blasphemous mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with the sounds of torment and torture before going into a heavier musical direction. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black emtal screams along with some death metal growls and also being utilized at times and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. You can also hear a decent amount of 90's influences in the tracks as well as a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style, rain, thunder and ritualistic sounds can also be heard briefly and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover blasphemy, darkness and satanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Undertaker Of The Damned and if you are a fan of old school and blasphemous black and death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Blackness".
Next up is Dies Irae a band that plays a satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and heavy sound along with some grim sounding black metal screams a few seconds later. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Melodic chants can also be heard briefly as well as the riffs also bring in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies. The music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Satanism, Darkness and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Dies Irae are a very great sounding satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "El dia de la ira".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of old school and satanic black metal. 8 out of 10.
