This is a review of a 3 way split between Germany's Tattered Soul, and Austria's Varulv and Nightforest called When Life Brings Sorrow Beyond Death" which was released by Naturmacht Productions and we will start of the review with Tattered Soul which plays a very raw and primitive form of black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some 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 dark, raw and primitive sounding with a small amount of blackened death metal as well as a decent amount of dark sounding melodies in the riffing, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very primitive sounding black metal guitar leads with some melody that dont really turn into solos.
Vocals are all grim sounding black metal screams, while the lyrics cover Necromancy and Dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Tattered Soul are a very great sounding raw and primitive black metal band and if you are a very fan of this style, you should check out their music. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Necromancer". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Varulv a band that plays a melodic raw and primitive form of black metal.
Drums range from mid paced to fast drumming with some 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 and on the last song they sound very powerful.
Rhythm guitars range from mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very dark, melodic, raw and primitive sounding and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording, as for the acoustic guitars which are only used briefly on the last song they use finger picking to enhance the darkness that is coming out of the music.
Vocals are all high pitched and grim sounding black metal screams, while the lyrics are written in a mixture of German and English and cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
