A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the compilation while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and the guitar leads also add in some melodies.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the compilation more of a raw feeling. The songs also bring in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one track also being all acoustic guitars as well as having no vocals and the second ep starts out with a heavier instrumental before going into more of a rawer direction.
On these ep's Oldowan Gash played a very raw and aggressive form of black metal that is also has a different approach to the genre, The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover nature, urban decay, atavism and medieval themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Oldowan Gash and if you are a fan of raw black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Until The Bess Fly Again..." and "The Maiden's Tower". 8 out of 10.
