This is a review of a split album between Kentucky's Panopticon and California'a Lake Of Blood with both of them being featured before in this zine, the split was released in 2009 by Lundr Records and we will start of the review with Panopticon with the musical style being atmospheric black metal with elements of folk and bluegrass.
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 are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast atmospheric black metal riffs that also utilize some melody, drone elements and death and doom metal influences, while the elad guitars are very melodic, raw and primitive sounding black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they use finger picking and full chords to bring elements of folk music and bluegrass to their side of the split.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal s creams with some spoken word samples, while the lyrics cover conspiracy theories, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound with one of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great soundign recording from Panopticon which also has the best music on this album and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "La Passione di sacco & vanzetti". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Lake Of Blood with the musical style being a mixture of atmospheric black and death metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding 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 riffs that combine atmospheric black metal with death metal to create a sound of their own, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding black/death metal guitar leads.
Vocals are all deep blackened death metal growls, while the lyrics cover misanthropy and isolation, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and dark sound along with a mixture of live and studio tracks.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lake Of Blood and if you are a fan of heavy and atmospheric blackened death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Eternal In My Domain".RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal or blackened death metal, you should add this album to your collection. RECOMMENDED BUY.
