This is a review of a 3 way split album between Argentina's Lux Anguis, Sri Lanka's Luciferianometh and and Mexico's Necroroots called "Global Domination OV Satanic Alliance" which was self released in 2021 and we will start off the review with Lux Anguis a band that plays an ambient. satanic, occult and pagan form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some ambient style keyboards and ritualistic soundscapes before adding in some chants and throat singing. Bells can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction which also introduces high pitched black metal screams onto their side of the split.
All of the drum beats are programmed along with some dark sounding melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing. Half of their tracks are also instrumentals along with all of the music also sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction as well as adding in a decent amount of 90's influences. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Aztec Paganism, Satanism and Occultism themes.
In my opinion Lux Anguis are a very great sounding ambient, satanic, pagan and occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In The Name Of Satan" and "Ancestral Call".
Next up is Luciferianometh a band that recently had music reviewed in this zine and plays an occult and satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and heavy sound while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also adding in a decent amount of 90's influences and melodies are also added into the guitar riffing.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as all of their music also sticking to a heavier direction, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism. Luciferian, Occultism, Black Magick and Sinhala Buddhism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Luciferianometh and if you are a fan of occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lord Abandon's War Call" and "Ritual Of Death & Sacrifices For Aphosis".
Next up is Necroroots who return with their old school style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and heavy sound while the focus are mostyl high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling and the songs also add in a decent amount of 90's influences.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover darkness, pain and night themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Necroroots and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Pain" and "Unchained".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of satanic, occult and old school black metal. 8 out of 10.
