This is a review of a split album between Finland's Warmoon Lord and Vultryium called "Pure Cold Impurity" which was originally released in 2020 and was re-issued in 2023 by Werewolf Records and we will start off the review with Warmoon Lord who returns with his old school and medieval style of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with a very dark yet heavy sound while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. The synths also give the songs more of an atmospheric and medieval touch while t he vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the music is heavily rooted in t he 90's era.
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. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, a couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length as well a s one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Magick, Darkness and Fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Warmoon Lord and if you are a fan of old school and medieval black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ancient Death's Crown" and "The Morning Star's Descent".
Next up is Vultryium a solo project that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a lot of melody while the music is heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the songs only adding in a small amount of slow and mid tempo sections, atmospheric sounding synths can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, coldness, solitude and desolation themes.
In my opinion Vultryium are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Journey Through Razorwinds".
In conclusion i feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of Finnish black metal, you should check out this album. 8 out of 10.
