This is a review of a split album between Spain's Kursk and Akouphenom which was released in 2020 by Colectivo Bliss and we will start off the review with Kursk a band that plays a blackened form of death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some world war 2 news samples before going into a heavier musical direction. All of the musical instruments on their side of the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. One of their tracks is also an instrumental as well as the vocals being mostly death metal growls and the music also mixes in a decent amount of black metal elements. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover WWII History, Communism and Anti Fascism themes.
In my opinion Zursk are a very great sounding blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Guerra Relampago" and "Stalingrado".
Next up is Akouphenom a band that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some avant garde orientated soundscapes before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also adds in a decent amount of blast beats. A couple of their tracks are also long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly bestial growls.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very chaotic war metal style along with some black metal screams also being utilized at times. When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the songs more of a raw feeling as well as some dissonant structures also being added into some of the riffing, the tracks also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and their side of the recording closes with a cover of Sarcofago's "Satanic Lust". The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Akouphenom and if you are a fan of black and death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Martir" and "Profanacion".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of black and death metal. 8 out of 10.
