This is a review of a split album between Japan's Abigail and Taiwan's Inferno Requiem called "Metal Bitch Violator/Conqueror Of The Golden Horde" which was released in 2019 by Death prayer Records and we will start off the review with Abigail who returns with their old school mixture of black and thrash metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast, raw and melodic sound which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly tortured sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads also bring in more of an old school style that adds in some touches of the first wave era.
Elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times along with the music also mixing in a lot of 80's influences without sounding outdated and most of the songs also stick to a faster musical direction. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Metal, Death and Doom themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Abigail and if you are a fan of old school black and thrash metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Satanik For Slaughter" and "Morbid of Doom".
Next up is Inferno Requiem a solo project who returns with his raw style of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with the sounds of winds and wolfs howling before going into a heavier and melodic musical direction. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. and the closing track is also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover Ancient Mythologies, Paganism, Samsara, Hell and Paranormal Events.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Inferno Requiem and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Conqueror of The Golden Horde". 8 out of 10.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and old school black and thrash metal. 8 out of 10.
