This is a review of a split album between San Francisco, California's Crebain and Leviathan which was released by tULMULt in 2004 and we will start of the review with Crebain a 1 man project which plays a very raw and primitive from of depressive black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, 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 depressive black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with some thrash influences being thrown into the riffing as well as some melodic parts and there little to are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and satanic themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound to it with the songs not being either too short or long in length.
In my opinion Crebain are a very great sounding raw and primitive depressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sorrow Of The Ancients" and "Glorious Age Of Satan". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Leviathan a band that has been featured before in this zine with their musical style being fast, heavy, raw ad primitive sounding atmospheric/depressive black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming along with a great 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 and at times they have a very powerful sound to them, as for the synths w hich are only utilized briefly they bring a dark ambient sound to the music.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast atmospheric/depressive black metal riffs that are very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sounding and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched depressive black metal screams with some spoken word parts being utilized at times, while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Leviathan and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ruminating In Hatemagick" and "Blood Angel" which is a Von cover. RECOMMENDED.
In conclussion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of USBM. RECOMMENDED BUY.
