This is a review of a split album between Chile's Old Castles and Ecuador's Winterstorm called "Everlasting Arts In Supreme Darkness" which will be released in march by Inferna Profundus Records and we will start off the review with Old Castles a duo that returns with their raw and lo-fi style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with more a dungeon synth before instrumental before going into a very fast, raw and lo-fi direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout their side of the recording you can also h ear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also adding in a decent amount of old school influences as well as the riffs also adding in a small amount of melody at times, clean playing can also be heard briefly and a couple of the tracks are instrumentals. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the qlipthoth, mysticism, paganism, death and misanthropy themes.
Next up is up is Winterstorm who return with their raw and old school style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some dark and melodic guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. The songs also mix in a good amount of old school influences along with some synths also being utilized at times and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as a couple of the tracks being instrumentals and clear vocals are also added on the closing song. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover paganism, mysticism, death and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Winterstorm and if you are a f an of raw and old school black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Veil of The Abyss".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and old school black metal.
