This is a review of a self released split album between Italy's Mountain Hermit and Panama/U.S.A's The Last Weapon called "Echoes Of Enigma: A Journey Through Shadowed Realms" and we will start off the review with Muntain hermit a solo project who returns with more experimental style of black metal.
His sid og the split starts out with some keyboards which also capture the atmosphere of a horror movie soundtrack while also adding in some touches of ambient and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times which also gives the music more of an atmospheric feeling and all of his tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Dark soundscapes are also added into certain sections of the recording along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams. All of the drum beats are also programmed as well as the riffs also adding in a small amount of distorted sounding melodies and on the last track a small amount of blast b eats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover esotericism and mysticism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mountain hermit and if you are a fan of experimental black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Archon".
Next up id The Last Weapon a solo project that has released more black metal orientated material in the past but on this recording goes into more of a dungeon synth direction.
His side of the split starts out with some keyboards which also brings in elements of dungeon synth while also adding in a variety of many different sounding keys which also captures the atmosphere of a fantasy movie soundtrack along with all of the music also being instrumental. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as each song bringing in a different style and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion The last Weapon are a very great sounding dungeon synth solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Rabbit Journey".
In conclusion i feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of experimental black metal and dungeon synth. 8 out of 10.
