This is a review of a split album between California's Aylwin and Oregon's Stellar Descent which was self released and we will start off the review with Aylwin which continues their atmospheric approach to cascadian black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into their song at times, 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 are only used towards the end of t he song and bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast cascadian black metal riffs that are very atmospheric, raw and primitive sounding with some melody being thrown into the riffing, while the lead guitars are very atmospheric sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they use finger picking and full chords to add some folk music elements to their side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams with some clean singing female vocals, while the lyrics cover nature and atavism themes, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound with their only song being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Aylwin and if you are a fan of cascadian black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Stellar Descent a 1 man band that plays a very nature orientated form of cascadian black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good 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.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast cascadian black metal riffs that are very atmospheric, raw and primitive sounding with some post rock melodies being thrown into the riffing, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they use finger picking and full chords to add more post rock elements to their side of the recording.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover nature themes, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound with their only song being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Stellar Descent are a very great sounding cascadian black metal band with the best music on this split and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of cascadian black metal, you should add this album to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY.
