This is a review of a split ep between Greece's Funeral Storm and Synteleia called "The Ancient Calling" which will be released on March 31st by Hells Headbangers and we will start off the review with Funeral Storm who return with an old school Hellenic occult black metal style.
Their side of the split starts out with some choirs before going into a heavier direction while the music is heavily rooted in the 90's Greek style. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments on their side of the recording having a very powerful sound to them.
The vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the song more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism and Horror themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Funeral Storm and if you are a fan of old school Hellenic occult black metal, you should check out their side of the split.
Next up is Synteleia who return with their old school style of Hellenic black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark, heavy and 90's Greek style sound while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as some keyboards also being utilized briefly, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. the production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Cthulho Mytho themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Synteleia and if you are a fan of old school Hellenic black metal, you should check out their side of the split.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of Greek black metal.
