This is a review of a split album between U.SA/Canada's Dream Unending and Worm called "Starpath" which was released in 2023 by 20 Buck Spin and we will start off the review with Dream Unending a band that plays an atmospheric form of doom and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with slow doom metal riffing and death metal growls while clean playing can also be heard at times. The music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with both of their tracks also being very long and epic in length, melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style along with some clean vocals also being utilized briefly as well as all of their music also sticking to a slower direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover introspection, pain, fear, dreams, and grief themes.
In my opinion Dream Unending are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "So Many Chances".
Next up is Worm who returns with more of a symphonic and vampyric style of black metal with touches of funeral doom/death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very heavy, atmospheric and melodic sound while the synths also add in some atmospheric touches. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era and all of their tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style as well as some clear chants/singing, whispers and spoken word parts also being utilized briefly and clean playing can also be heard at times, death metal growls and funeral doom metal elements are also mixed in with their new style. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Worm and if you are a fan of vampiric, symphonic black metal and funeral doom/death, you should check out this side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Midwinter Tears".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of black and atmospheric doom/death metal. 8 out of 10.
