This is a review of a split album between Italy's Vultur and BlackStream called "Fuck You In Heaven!" which was released on cassette by Mistica Funebre Productions and we will start of the review with Vultur who return with their occult style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and ritualistic sound along with a brief use of synth before adding in some clean playing which also takes the music into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly deep yet grim black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover Sardinian Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Vultur and if you are a fan of occult black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Cundanna".
Next up is BlackStream who return with a ritualistic mixture of occult black metal, industrial, noise and dark ambient.
Their side of the split starts out with some ritualistic sounding synths before adding in some drum beats, industrial elements and grim yet high pitched black metal screams. Demonic growls and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the music also adding in some elements of noise, drone and dark ambient at times, church choirs can also be heard briefly towards the end. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Occultism, Black Magick, Blasphemy and Nihilism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from BlackStream and if you are a fan of ritualistic occult black metal, industrial, noise and dark ambient, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devil!Devil!Devil!" and "Sweet Father (Of Shit).
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of occult and ritualistic black metal. 8 out of 10.
