This is a review of a 4 way split album between Alabama's Wormreich, Texas's Diabolus Amator, and California's Gravespawn and Vesterian called "Infirmos Vocat Deus Fidei" which was released as a joint effort between Symbol of Domination Productions and Black Plague Records and we will start off the review with Wormreich a band that plays a very raw and satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw black metal sound that utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats as well as some high pitched screams and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the music also brings in a great amount of 90's second wave influences.
The riffs also use melodies at times and there is also a brief use of melodic Gregorian chants and deep growls and there is also a brief use of spoken word parts and distorted effects can also be heard at times along with some of the songs being long and epic in length and the music also brings in a small amount of atmospheric synths and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very chaotic fashion and there last track is all instrumental, the production sounds very raw and powerful while the lyrics cover Satanism and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion Wormreich are a very great sounding satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "To Render The Right Hand".
Next up is Diabolus Amator a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw and satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very heavy, dark and melodic sound along with some tortured black metal screams a few seconds later and when the music speeds up the vocals get more high pitched while the songs also start using more tremolo picking and blast beats while the solos and leads also bring in a decent amount of melody while also having an old school style to them and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, the production sounds very dark, raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism and Anti Christian themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Diabolus Amator and if you are a fan of raw and satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Sanity And Her Daggers Return".
Next up is Gravespawn another band that plays a very raw and satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very raw and heavy sound along with some high pitched and grim black metal screams a few seconds later and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while also bringing in a very dark atmosphere and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion and when clean singing is utilized it gives the songs more of a ritualistic feeling and the riffs also bring in a decent amount of melody at times and they close their side of the split with a live track, the production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Anti Religion, Epic Fantasy battles and War themes.
In my opinion Gravespawn are a very great sounding satanic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Beneath The Shadowed Past".

Wormreich / Diabolus Amator / Gravespawn / Vesterian - Infirmos Vocat Deus Fidei [split] (2016) SODP062 / BPR071
ReplyDeleteВы только гляньте на обложку, только у человека, совершенно потерявшего интерес к жизни, она не вызовет никаких эмоций. Ковер прокачан дизайнером на 666 % процентов. Интереснейший сплит выпустил саб-лейбл Satanath Records - Symbol Of Domination (в боевом сотрудничестве с американской конторой Black Plague Records). А это работа на четверых — именно столько американских групп самого черного металла выступили здесь. В едином стальном порыве. Не менее того. По три трака закатали эти формации на диск для того, чтобы мы смогли приникнуть к черным родникам Винланада.
Wormreich. Аламбамские сатанисты антимузицируют с ноль 9-го года. Выпустили полноформат в 11-ом году, еще кое-что по мелочи. Впрягаются в тему оригинального оккультного атмосферного блэк металла. Основное отличие этой команды в многослойности материала, иногда просто кажется, что играет два трака. Эта глубина разворачивает сознание в сторону глубочайших пещер и подземелий, где гулко отдается каждый шаг, а диаволические мантры трепещут от нижних сквозняков и перепадов температур.
Второй трак так же атмосферен, но пожестче по верхним частотам. Здесь фиксируется истовая попытка создания ритуального послания демонам. «Разомкнутость» и открытость этого демарша создают энергетическую воронку, в которую будут втянуты все благонамеренные позывы. Инструменталисты работают на разрыв шаблона, создавая сырейший атмосферик, который вам удалось послушать за последний месяц. Вельзевуловский креатив группы линкует как к французскому черному легиону - особенно к его черно-эмбиентным проектам, так и раннему финскому эзотерическому блаку.
Третий трак - темный образчик хаоса в его зарождении, такой же многослойный, но еще более «воздушный напополам с пеплом» — депрессивный инструментал а ля Ксастур.
Diabolus Amator. Техасский one man проект сооружает люциферианское полотно из обглоданного коррозией металлолома, самых подозрительных гитарных партий, лирики, сквозящей антиклерикализмом и роковым отношением к темным божествам. «Интенсивность, угар и маниакальность» - вот что написано на штурмбаннере этого проекта.
Злой образчик немного более традиционного олдового блэк металла, труйного и оголтелого. Здесь совершенно не слышно, что всю контрмузыку сочиняет и исполняет ОДИН человек, а это значит - Мэтт Тэйлор собрал ненависти, мизантропии и дебоша за трех — четырех человек и все это б
