This is a review of a split album between Ecuador's Wampyric Rites and Ukraine's Moloch called "The Serpent Cult Of Darkness" which will be released in June by Inferna Profundus Records and we will start off the review with Wampyric Rites who returns with their raw and vampyric style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some wind sounds and clean playing before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals also having their deep and grim moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Vampirism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wampyric Rites and if you are a fan of raw and vampyric black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Mystical Singing Of The Lone Wolf In A Cold Forest.
Next up is Moloch who returns with their raw and atmospheric style of ambient black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some ambient style synths which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while most of their tracks are also instrumentals. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams along with some melody also being added into t he guitar riffing.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the faster sections of the song also adds in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives their side of the recording more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover unholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Moloch and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric ambient black metal, you should check out their side of the split. Enthroned! Thy Unholy Spirit!".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of ambient, atmospheric, raw and vampyric black metal. 8 out of 10.
