This is a review of a split album between Egypt's Frostagrath and Sri Lanka's Viragha called "Dust Shall Remain" and released by Rigorism Productions and we will start of the review with Frostagrath who have been featured before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric form of depressive black metal.
Drum ranges from slow, mid paced playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on their son, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric and ambient sound to the recording, as for the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful tone with heavy riffing that dominates through their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced depressive black metal riffs that utilize some raw and primitive sounding elements at times, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding depressive black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding depressive black metal screams with some deep growls being utilized at times as well as a brief use of spoken word parts, while the lyrics cover dark and depressive themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound while you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording with one of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Frostagrath and if you are a very of atmospheric depressive black metal, you should check out their side of the recording, RECOMMENDED TRACK "And Finally, The Death Caverns". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Viragha a band that plays a very atmospheric and ambient form of black metal.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on this recording, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric and ambient sound to the music, as for the bass playing it 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 ambient black metal riffs that use some raw and primitive elements, while the lead guitars are very dark and melodic sounding ambient black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are all high pitched distorted black metal screams that utilize some depressive elements, while the lyrics cover Occultism and Darkness, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Viragha are a very great sounding atmospheric, ambient black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Gospel Of Despair". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all of fans of depressive, ambient and atmospheric black metal, RECOMMENDED BUY.
