This is a review of a split ep between Greece's Varathron and Germany's Ungod called "Apocalyptic Mysticism" which will be released in June by Iron Bonehead Productions and we will start off the review with Varathron who return with their Hellenic style of old school occult black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some ritualistic beats and oriental instruments before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments on the song also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals also bring in more of a growling style that adds in some first wave touches. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and blast beats can also be heard when the music speeds up, synths can also be heard at times. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Varathron and if you are a fan of Hellenic black metal, you should check out their side of the split.
Next up is Ungod who return with their raw and old school style of satanic black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some heavy yet old school riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the song also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling, the track also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Ungod and if you are a fan of raw and old school occult black metal, you should check out their side of the split.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of old school and occult black metal. 8 out of 10.
