This is a review of a 3 way split album between Portugal's Sardonic Witchery, Decayed and Law Of Contagion called "Profanação Lusitana" which will be released on June 15th by Nekrogoat Heresy Productions and we will start off the review with Sardonic Witchery who returns with his old school and satanic style of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with some ritualistic soundscapes and synths before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre 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 bring in more of a mid 80's to early 90's style. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sardonic Witchery and if you are a fan of old school and satanic black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Lucifer".
Next us is Decayed who return with a raw and old school form of black emtal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and ritualistic sounding intro along with some chants before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives their side of the recording more of a r aw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words and clean playing can also be heard briefly and some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of dark sounding melodies. The production sounds very raw and old school and the lyrics cover Atlantis, Darkness and Anti Religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Decayed and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "When Darkness Comes".
Closing the split is Law of Contagion who return with their occult mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very ritualistic sounding intro along with some evil sounding spoken words and synths, clean playing can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Elements of death metal can also be heard at times as well as the music also being very heavily influenced by the 90's era. The production sounds very dark and raw and the lyrics cover Occultism and Demonology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Law Of Contagion and if you are a fan of occult black and death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Dominion".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and i would recommend it to all fans of Portuguese black metal, 8 out of 10.
