This is a review of a split ep between North Carolina's Lammoth and Texas's Gonemage called "Aetherfrost Caverns" which will be released on October 17th by Fiadh Productions and we will start off the review with Lammoth a solo project who returns with an atmospheric and medieval style of black metal with elements of drum'n'bass, breakbeats and N64/PSX Soundfonts.
His side of the split starts out with some drum'n'bass and breakbeat sounds 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 grim sounding black metal screams while the synths also give the music more of an atmospheric and medieval feeling.
Throughout his side of the split you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with both of his tracks also being very long and epic in length, at times the music also captures the atmosphere of a fantasy orientated video game soundtrack. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover by the writings of J.R.R Tolkien.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Lammoth and if you are a fan of atmospheric and medieval black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "In the Black Winds The Stars Shall Die".
Next up is Gonemage a solo project who returns with his experimental mixture of post black metal and chiptune music.
His side of the split starts out with a very heavy and atmospheric sound while synths also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs. Clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as the music also having its experimental moments.
Chiptunes and video game sounds also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs along with the vocals also adding in a mixture of black metal screams and death emtal growls. One of the tracks is also very long and epic in length, spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover science fiction and fantasy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gonemage and if you are a fan of experimental post black metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Aetherhold Embrace And The Idle Wish".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of atmospheric and experimental black metal. 8 out of 10.
