This is a review of a split between Spain's Atrabilis and France's Echancrure that was self released in 2011 and we will start off with Echancrure.
Drum programming is all slow to mid paced beats, while the synths bring a very dark ambient sound to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffs that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are all slow to mid paced depressive ambient black metal riffs with some melody that has a doom metal feeling to it as well as some shoegaze influences in addition the song is very long in length and epic sounding and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their song.
Vocals are all grim sounding depressive black metal screams and growls, while the lyrics are written in French and cover depressive themes, as for t he production it has a v ery dark, raw and primitve sound to it..
In my opinion Echancrure do a very good job with their depressive post black metal and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band.
Next up is Atrabilis a band I previously wrote about.
Drum programming ranges from slow, mid paced to fast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars, as for the sound effects they bring in the dark ambient elements into the music.
Rhythm guitars are all slow, mid paced to fast depressive black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with some weird and distorted sounding melodies in addition the song is very long and there are no guitar solos or leads present on the song.
Vocals are all high pitched depressive black metal screams and cries with a brief spoken word part, while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover negative themes, as for the production it has a very raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Atrabilis have the best song on this recording and should appeal to depressive black metal fans.
In my opinion this is a very grat split and I would recommend this to all fans of DSBM, dark ambient and post black metal. RECOMMENDED BUY.
