This is a review of a split album between U.S.A's Häxanu and Sweden's Greve called "Naturmystik" which will be released on May 24th as a joint effort between Purity Through Fire and Amot Fati Productions and we will start off the rteview with Häxanu who return with their occult style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with atmospheric sounding synths before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw and the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Häxanu and if you are a f an of occult black emtal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mercy" and "The Winged Chalice".
Next up is Greve who return their their keyboard orientated style of old school black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and r aw sound which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal s creams while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era along with the keyboards also adding in some atmospheric touches. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics a re written in Swedish and cover blasphemy, darkness and folklore themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Greve aand if you are a fan of keyboard orientated old school black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gudaföraktets Ton" and "Myllan av det Förgångna'.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of old school and atmospheric black metal. 8 out of 10.
