This is a review of a split album between U.S.A's Vampirska and Ecuador's Wampyric Rites called "The Drowning Void" which will be released in the summer of 2021 by Inferna Profundus Records and we will start off the review with Vampirska a solo project that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw and vampiric form of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some clean playing before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Both of his tracks are very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Vampirism, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vampirska and if you are a fan of raw and vampiric black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "As Their Faces Fade From My Memory".
Next up is Wampyric Rites who return with their raw and vampiric style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and heavy sound while both of their tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the songs also add in a lot of 90p's influences.
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. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style as well as the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, synths and clean vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Vampirism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wampyric Rites and if you are a fan of raw and vampiric black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Tragedy Of Existence. Pt. II".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and vampiric black metal. 8 out of 10.
