This is a review of a split ep between Norway's Taake and Deathcult called "Jaertegn" which will be released in July by Edge Circle Productions and we will start off the review with Taake who return with their old school style of Norwegian black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark yet heavy sound while the tremolo picking and blast beats during the faster sections of the songs gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with the tracks also being very heavily rooted in the 90's Nordic style.
Melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on their side of the recording have a very powerful sound to them as well as some clean playing also being utilized briefly and they close their side of the split with a cover of Darkthrone's "Ravnajuv". The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Taake and if you are a fan of this band you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Slagmark".
Next up is Deathcult who return with their raw and old school style of satanic black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's Nordic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with their first track also being very long and epic in length and they close their side of the split with a cover of Beherit's "Black Arts". The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Satanism and Misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Deathcult and if you are a fan of raw and old school satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED Track "Der Wurger".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of Norwegian black metal. 8 out of 10.
