This is a review of a split album between Eugene, Oregon's Vhmnt and The Screaming Wind, both 1 man projects with the split being released in 2012 by Glossolalia Records and Called "Black Fog" and we will start of the review with Vhmnt which plays a very negative from of atmospheric black 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 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 are very raw and primitive sounding with some drone elements being thrown into the riffing as well as a brief use of dark sounding melodies and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams with some depressive cries being thrown into the music, while the lyrics cover Gnosticism and Negativity, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with a couple of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Vhmnt are a very great sounding raw and primitive, atmospheric depressive black metal project who also have the best music on this album and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Necessary Affliction" and "Come Dreadful One". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is The Screaming Wind a band that plays a very raw and primitive form of atmospheric black metal.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some 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 which are only used briefly bring a dark ambient sound to their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are raw and primitive sounding while still evoking a dark atmosphere along with a brief use of clean playing, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding atmospheric black metal guitar solos and leads
Vocals are mostly hateful sounding black metal screams and shouts along with a brief use of clean singing, while the lyrics cover life, negativity and pain, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with both of their songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion The Screaming Wind are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their music. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Sixteen". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of atmospheric black metal. RECOMMENDED BUY.
