This is a review of a self released 5 way split album review between Australia's Wandering Martyr, Destined To Suffer, Chagrin, Hellhole and Russia's Ruined Life called "Sing Me One Last Time" and we will start off the review with Wandering Martyr a solo project that plays an atmospheric form of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some clean playing and atmospheric and post rock elements before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style and all of the music sticks to a slower direction.The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depressive themes.
In my opinion Wandering Martyr are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split.
Next up is Destined To Suffer a solo project that returns with his atmospheric style of post black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some rain, thunder sounds and whispers before going into a heavier and atmospheric musical direction. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the vocals are done in a grim black metal style while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody as well as the second track also adding in more of a depressive atmosphere, both songs are also long and epic in length. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depressive themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Destined to Suffer and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Torment".

His side of the split starts out with the sounds of suicide along with some atmospheric elements which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly depressive sounding black metal screams while synths and clean playing can also be heard at times. The second track is very long and epic in length and all of the music sticks to a slower direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark and depressive themes.

Next up is Chagrin who returns with his atmospheric style of post black metal.
