This is a review of a split album between Italy's Theocodontion and U.S.A's Ceremented which will be released in April by I, Voidhanger Records and we will start off the review with Thecodontion who returns with an atmospheric mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very powerful sounding bass guitar which is used as a lead instruments along with some synths and keyboards which also gives the music more of an atmospheric feeling. Vocals are a mixture of grim black metal screams and death metal growls while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
Melodies can also be heard at times and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clear vocals are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover prehistoric marine arthropods who lived during the Cambrian Period.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Thecondontion and if you are a fan of atmospheric black and death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Hallucigenia".
Next up is Ceremented who return with their mixture of doom and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with harsh noises while spoken word parts can also be heard in the background briefly before going into a heavier direction where the bas s guitars take over as a lead instrument. Vocals are mostly death metal growls while blast beats can be heard when the music speeds up.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with the music also adding in a decent amount of 90's era influences as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover destructive forces of nature and cataclysmic events.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ceremented and if you are a fna of doom/death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Timeworn Furtherance".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of black, doom and death metal. 8 out of 10.
