This is a review of a self released 2023 album between Italy's Nocratai and BlackStream called "Psychotropic Luciferian Extravagaanza" a band that plays a mixture of black metal, noise and industrial.
Their side of the split starts out with some distorted amp noises before adding in some raw tremolo picking. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also h ave a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with one of the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Industrial style beats can also be heard at times as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover war and destruction themes.
In my opinion Nocratai are a very great sounding mixture of black metal, noise and industrial and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMEDNED TRACK "Empty And Delapidated".
Next yup is BlackStream who return with their occult mixture of black emtal, noise and industrial.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark ambient synth orientated intro along with some ritualistic spoken word parts before going into a heavier direction. Harsh noises can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a great amount of industrial style beats.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also having its experimental moments, demonic growls can also be hard at times and each track also sounds very different from each other. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics over Occultism, Satanism, Nihilism and Black Magick themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from BlackStream and if you are a f an of occult black metal, noise and industrial, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Fuck You 666".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of black metal, noise and industrial. 8 out of 10.
