This is a review of a split album between New Jersey's Astaroth and U.S.A's Intolerant which was released by Horizon Productions and we will start off the review with Astaroth a band that plays a very raw and primitive form of Finnish style black metal.
Drums range from slow to mid paced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced black metal riffs that are very dark, raw and primitive sounding with a great amount of influence from the Finnish bands along with some depressive elements and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all grim sounding black metal s creams, while the lyrics cover Demonology and Antichrist themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with the last song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Astaroth are a very great sounding mid paced raw and primitive sounding black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Astaroth". RECOMMENDED
Next up is Intolerant a band that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style I would describe as being very heavy, raw and primitive sounding black metal.
Drums range from s low, mid paced to fast drumming 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 are coming out of the guitars, as for the synths they bring a very dark, epic and atmospheric sound to the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very heavy, old school raw and primitive sounding in the true 90's tradition and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.
Vocals are all deep black metal growls and screams with some high pitched elements being utilized at times, while the lyrics cover dark and medieval themes, as for the production it has a very old school raw and primitive sound.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Intolerant and if you are a f an of old school raw and primitive sounding black metal, you should check out the music presented on this split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Age Of Valor Restored". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of atmospheric, old school, raw and primitive sounding black metal, you should add this ep to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY.
