This is a review of a split album between United Kingdom's Arrogant Destruktor and Netherlands's Wrang which was released by Wolfspell Records and we will start off the review with Arrogant Destruktor a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw black metal sound which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats and the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched screams and elements of thrash can also be heard at times and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they remain true to an old school style of black metal and deep growls can also be heard at times and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and one of the tracks is very long and epic in length and classical guitars are added onto the last track
Arrogant Destruktor creates another recording that remains true to the raw style of black metal of their previous release, the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover mythical, celestial, fantasy and paganism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Arrogant Destruktor and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seeds Of The Aeon" and "Invocations And Conjurations In The Name Of Woden".
Next up is Wrang a band that also plays a very raw form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw black metal sound that also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave tradition of the genre.
At times the vocals get very deep and demonic and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and most of their tracks are very long and epic in length and dark sounding melodies can also be heard in the music at times and clean playing is added on the last track along with some melodic guitar leads.
Wrang plays a style of black metal that is very traditional, dark, heavy and raw sounding with some second wave influences, the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover dark themes.
In my opinion Wrang are a very great sounding raw black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Morbide Delirium".
In my opinion this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw black metal. 8 out of 10.
