This is a review of a split ep between U.S.A's Tselech and United Kingdom's Oathless One which was released in 2024 by Elf Eggs and we will start off the review with Tselech who returns with a mixture of raw black metal and noise.
His side of the split starts out with some spoken word samples before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are high pitched black metal screams. Guitar noises are also utilized at times along with all of the music being improvised, all of the riffing sticking to a slower direction and the closing track also adds in some fast drumming. The production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi and the lyrics cover death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tselech and if you are a fan of raw black metal and noise, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "A Glamour Of Nightfall".
Next up is Oathless One a solo project that plays a mixture of raw black metal and noise.
His side of the split starts out with a very dark yet distorted sound while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout his side of the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some ambient style synths also being added into the music at times. Guitar orientated noises are also utilized at times and the slower sections of the songs also mix in elements of sludge and doom metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark and esoteric themes.
In my opinion Oathless One is a very great sounding mixture of raw black metal and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Infernal Manifestation".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw black metal and noise. 8 out of 10.
