This is a review of a split album between Scotland's Order Of The Wolf and Brazil's Pessimista which will be released in April by Trepanation Recordings and we will start off the review with Order Of The Wolf a solo project that plays a mixture of black metal and punk.
His side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing while the music also mixes in some elements of punk along with most of the music sticking to a faster direction with only a small amount of mid tempo sections, keyboards can also be heard briefly towards the end. the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anti-Fascism and Political themes.
In my opinion Order Of The Wolf are a very great sounding raw mixture of black metal and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Moving Ever Closer Towards The Light".
Next up is Pessimista a solo project that has been featured before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some atmospheric sounding synths and melodic guitar solos and leads. All of the musical instruments on his side of the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of his tracks also being very long and epic in length. Clean playing can also be heard on all of the tracks as well as the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover alcoholism, drugs, loneliness, despair and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Pessimista and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "N.M.A.D".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of the atmospheric, raw and punk influenced styles of black metal.
