This is a review of a split ep between U.S.A's There Is No Light here and Tachanka called "Stigmergy" which will be released in June by Syrup moose Records and we will start off the review with There Is No Light Here a solo project that plays a very depressive and old school form of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some tragic sounding keyboards before going into a heavier and atmospheric direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams, blast beats can also be heard in the faster sections of the songs as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the music also mixes in some 90's influences into the more modern era. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover anti-suicide and anti-fascism themes.
In my opinion There Is No Light are a very great sounding depressive and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "There Is No Light Here".
Next up is Tachanka a solo project that plays a very progressive and ambient form of black metal.
Her side of the split starts out with some clean playing while the music also gets very progressive sounding at times. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the synths also bringing in elements of ambient when they are utilized and mixing in with the heavier sections of the songs at time.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some clean singing also being utilized briefly as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and both of her tracks also stick to a very slow musical direction, melodic guitar solos and leads are also added towards the end. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover anarchy and feminism themes.

In my opinion Tachanka is a very great sounding ambient and progressive black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out her side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Rosebud".
In conclusion I fell this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of ambient, depressive and progressive black metal. 8 out of 10
