Ars Macabra/Cosmic Ekpyrosis/Nil Sine Deo/Grom Records/2011 CD Split Review

 This is a review of a split album between Ars Macabra from from and Cosmic Ekpyrosis From Italy called "Nil Sine Deo" which was released by Grom Records and we will star of the review with Ars Macabra that plays a very fast, raw and primitive form of black metal.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and on the last song they sound very powerful.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with some dark sounding melodies being thrown in at times, while the lead guitars which are only utilized briefly are very primitive sounding black metal guitar leads .

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams with some deep growls being thrown in at times, while the lyrics cover Chaos, Hatred and Philosophy, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Ars Macabra are a very good sounding raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Breed Of Cain".

Next up is Cosmic Ekpyrosis that plays a very raw, fast, melodic and primitive form of black metal.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown in, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive with a good amount of melody being thrown into the music and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.

Vocals are mostly deep black metal growls mixed in with some high pitched screams, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Cosmic Ekyprosis are a very good raw and primitive black metal band with the best music on this split and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Devillish Angel:. RECOMMENDED

In my opinion this is a great split album and every black metal fan should check it out. RECOMMENDED BUY.
