This is a review of a split album between Italy's Infernal Angels, Catechon, and Ad Noctem Funeriis called "Italian Black Metal Assault" which was released by Adimere Records and we will start off the review with Infernal Angels a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very raw and melodic form of occult black metal.
There side of the split starts out with melodic guitar leads and drum beats and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music a more raw feeling.
Vocals a re mostly in the deep growling style along with a few screams and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also bring in a great amount of melody and they also do a cover of Boa's "Spawn", the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover religion, death and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Infernal Angels and if you are a fan of raw and melodic occult black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Absum Lucem".
Next up is Catechon a band that plays a raw form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound that uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats while the vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while some of the riffing adds in a touch of thrash and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
A small amount of melody can be heard in the guitar riffing and their is also a brief use of whipping samples along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments sounding very powerful, the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death and negativity themes.
In my opinion Catechon 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 "Succube".
Next up is Ad Noctem Funeriis a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound that also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's second wave style along with a small amount of melody.
When solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic fashion while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and they close their side of the split with a cover of Darkthrone's "Whiskey Funeral", the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death, war, Occultism and Satanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ad Noctem Funeriis and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMEDNED TRACK "Black Legion".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of traditional black metal. 8 out of 10.
