This is a review of a split cassette between New York's Yellow Eyes and Illinois's Monvment both of whom are bands that have been featured in this zine with the split being released by Sol y Nieve in 2012 and we will start of the review with Yellow Eyes with their musical style being a raw and primitive form of post black metal.
Drums range from slow, 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.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast post black metal riffs that are very heavy, raw and primitive sounding with some old school influences being thrown into the riffing at times, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very dark sounding post black metal guitar leads.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover philosophical themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound with both of their songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Yellow Eyes and if you are a fan of raw and primitive sounding post black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Solid Chime Of Matching Bone With Harder Strength". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Monvment which continues their experimental and atmospheric approach to raw and primitive sounding black metal.
Drum programming ranges from slow, mid paced to fast beats, while the synths and effects bring the experimental sounds 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, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding while also adding in more melody to the riffing this time around, while the lead guitars which are only used briefly are very dark sounding black/doom metal guitar leads.
Vocals are all grim sounding black metal screams, while the lyrics cover duality and mysticism, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with both of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Monvment who also have the best music on this split and if you are a fan of experimental and atmospheric, raw and primitive black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Gaping Orifices In the Floor of Heaven/Milchama(Relieve)". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of experimental, post, atmospheric and primitive black metal, you should add this to your collection. RECOMMENDED.
