This is a review of a split album between Belgium's Alkerdeel and A Den Of Robbers called "CM Kamp 1996/Horion Jugend" which was released by ConSouling Sounds in 2012 and we will start of the review with Alkerdeel a band that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style that mixes raw and primitive sounding black metal with sludge and doom metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine raw and primitive sounding black metal with sludge and doom metal together to create a sound of their own and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which have a very depressive tone to them a t times along with some deep growls and spoken word parts, while the lyrics are written in Belgian and cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on t heir side of the recording.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Alkerdeel and if you are a fan of primitive black metal and sludge, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Veiller De Nuit Noir". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is A Den Of Robbers a band that mixes sludge with grindcore.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being present on this recording, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine sludge with grindcore together to create a sound of their own along with some black metal influences in the riffing and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording
Vocals are all high pitched grindcore/sludge screams, while the lyrics cover everyday themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording.
In my opinion A Den Of Robbers are a very great sounding hybrid of sludge and grindcore and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bob Larsen" and "Plagues". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel t his is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of black metal, sludge, and grindcore you should add this album to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY..
