This is a review of a compilation from Nailed Nazarene Industries called "The World Of Lies" which consists of black metal bands from different parts of the world and we will review the tracks one by one.
Xathrites (Iraq) "No Longer Me".
The song starts our with some drum beats and dark yet heavy riffing along with some high pitched depressive black metal screams a few seconds later. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with some melodies also being utilized at times, clean singing can also be heard briefly as well as the song being long and epic in length and there is also a brief use of stringed instruments. The track also always sticks to a slower direction and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Destined To Suffer (Australia) "I'm So Cold When I Am Alone".
Nature sounds and whispers start off the track before going into more of 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 mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with some clean playing being utilized at times, the song is also very long and epic in length and always sticks to a slower musical direction.
Agvares (Russia) "Clamor Aeternam".
Spoken word parts starts off the track before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are high pitched depressive black metal screams. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with the faster sections of the song also adding in some blast beats as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style
The Kingdom Of Peace (Poland) "World Terror".
The song starts off with some programmed beats before going into a heaver direction. Spoken words are also used briefly along with the slower sections of the song also bringing in elements of doom metal. Blast beats can also be heard when the music speeds up while the vocals are mostly deep yet grim sounding black metal screams.
"My Truth".
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the song while the track is also an instrumental which also adds in some elements of dark ambient, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly.
Empty Inside (Brazil) "A minha libertacao, o meu descanso".
Clean playing starts off the song along with some drum beats a few seconds later which also takes the track into a heavier direction.

"Thoughts"
Melodic guitar leads and acoustic guitars start off the song along with the track also being an instrumental. The music is also mostly rooted in the post and atmospheric forms of black metal and also sticks mostly to a slower musical direction.
Hellhole (Australia) "Death Earth".
Programmed drum beats start off the track along with some heavy riffing a few seconds later. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the song also gets very atmospheric sounding at times as well as the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of atmospheric, depressive, post black metal and blackened doom metal. 8 out of 10.
