This is a review of a split ep between Italy's Ogen and The Scars In Pneuma called "The Eerie Chronicles" which will be released in October by Deadwoods Productions and we will start off the review with Ogen a band that plays an atmospheric form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some clean playing along with some ambient style synths a few seconds later while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as some clear vocals also being utilized briefly and the heavier riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
All of the musical instruments on t heir side of the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams as well as both of their tracks also being very long and epic in length and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Ogen are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Eternity Unguarded".
Next up is The Scars In Pneuma a band that h as been featured before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with rain sounds before adding in some clean playing before going into a heavier musical direction. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric 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 cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Scars in Pneuma and if you are a fan of atmospheric and melodic black metal, you should check out their side of t he split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ascending the Mountain Of Old".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of t he ambient, atmospheric and melodic styles of black metal. 8 out of 10.
