This is a review of a split album between Greece's Ceremonial Worship and Phillipines's Omenfilth called "The Pact Of Morbid Conspiracy" which will be released on cassette in August by Eternal Death and we will start off the review with Ceremonial Worship a solo project that plays an old school and Hellenic form of occult black metal.
His side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's Greek style along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the music also always sticking to a heavier direction, when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they also remains true to a 90's style. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Darkness, Ceremonies and the Black Arts.
In my opinion Ceremonial Worship are a very great sounding old school and Hellenic occult black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Into Dungeons Of Mysticism" and "Anthems Of Pure hate". 8 out of 10.
Next up is Omenfilth a band that returns with a very raw and old school style of black metal with some elements of death and thrash metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some Gregorian chants before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. All of the musical instruments on their side of the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
The songs also show some influences of the 90's hellenic style along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, when tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and elements of death and thrash metal can also be heard at times. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Filipino Mythology, Darkness and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Omenfilth and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal with some touches of death and thrash metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "To Dwell In The Pits Of Barathrum" and "Arktouros".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of old school and occult black metal. 8/5 out of 10.
