This is a review of a split album between Germany's Eisenkult and Atronos which will be released on July 23rd by Purity Through Fire and we will start off the review with Eisenkult who returns with their atmospheric, melodic, old school and raw style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts off with some high pitched black metal screams along with some melodic yet heavy riffing a few seconds later. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the tracks more of a raw feeling.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also h ear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a small amount of synths which also gives the music more of an atmospheric feeling. Whispers can also be heard briefly as well as the vocals also having their deeper moments at times, clear vocals can also be heard on a few songs and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing, some of t he riffing also shows an influence of black metal. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in German and cover blasphemy, anti Christianity, death, sin, darkness and iron themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Eisenkult and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic, old school and raw black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED Track "Niederes Gewurm".
Next up is Atronos a band that plays an old school form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some drum beats and heavy riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Clear singing can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
At times the vocals also get very deep and angry sounding along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. when clean playing is utilized briefly they also give the recording more of a medieval touch. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover black magick themes.
In my opinion Atronos are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Milt Speeren und Harpunen" and "Dein Zauber".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great soiunding split and I would recommend it to all fans of German black metal. 8 out of 10.
