This is a review o0f a split ep between Germany's Lightbearer and Italy's Mountain Hermit called "Dark Acausal Architectures Of The Black Archetypes" which was released by Black Metal Musicians Productions and we will start off the review with Lightbearer a band that plays a very raw form of occult black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with with some clean playing and ritualistic chants before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them , a lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Luciferian, Occultism and left hand Path themes.
In my opinion Lightbearer are a very great sounding raw occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Sorcery And The Black Arts".
Next up is Mountain Hermit who return with their atmospheric style of black emtal.
Their side of the split starts out with some dark soundscapes before going into a heavier direction while the synths also add in some atmospheric touches. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats 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 atmospheric black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ghosts In The Corridors".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and atmospheric black metal.
