This is a review of a split between 2 bands from Greece named Dizziness and Lykauges called "At The Whirlwind Of The Storm" which was released by War Productions with some bonus tracks and we will start of the review with Dizziness which plays a very raw and primitive from of hellenic black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast druming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, 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 sounding with a good amount of dark sounding melodies being thrown into the music that capture the classic Greek feeling as well as some thrash style riffing and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with some deep growls that have a hateful feeling to them and spoken word parts, while the lyrics cover Folklore, Ancient Heritage and Mysticism, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Dizziness are a very great sounding raw and primitive hellenic black metal band with a melodic edge in addition with the best music on this split and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "At The Whirlwind Of The Storm" and "Omega". RECOMMENDED
Next up is Lykauges a band that plays a very raw and primitive old school form of hellenic occult black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful tone with hellenic black metal riffs that dominate throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast hellenic black metal riffs that have a 90's feeling to them as well as some riffing that utilizes some death metal influences as well as some melody, in addition there is some clean playing being utilized on the last song, while the lead guitars which are only utilized briefly they have a melodic feeling to them.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover Ancient Greek Subjects, Nihilism, and Occultism, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
