This is a review of a self released split ep between U.S.A's Ancestral Blood and Vesterian called "Through The Enchanted Forest/Dead Beneath The Dark Aopen Seas" and we will start off the review with Ancestral Blood a band that plays a very epic and majestic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some water sounds before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. All of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the song is over 8 minutes in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some spoken word parts also being utilized at times.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the song more of a raw feeling. When keyboards are utilized they also give the track more of an epic and symphonic feeling along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody, melodic guitar leads can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover ancient myths and legends.
In my opinion Ancestral blood are a very great sounding epic majestic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split.
Next up is Vesterian who return with their aggressive and satanic style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with the sounds of the sea before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the track is also over 8 minutes in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Keyboards can also be heard in t he background as well as the riffs also adding in a lot of moody and the song also adds in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the guitar leads and solos are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw and the lyrics cover the dis appearance of a girl.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Vesterian and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of epic black metal. 8 out of 10.
