This is a review of a split ep between Finland's Dark Divination and Ecuador's Wampyric Rites called "Finnish Ecuador Alliance" which will be released in May by Signal Rex and we will start off the review with Dark Divination who returns with a raw and old school style of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with a very distorted sound before going into a heavier direction while the guitar leads are done in a melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams, synths can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the song also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the track more of a raw feeling, the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish style. The Production sounds very dark and raw and the lyrics cover hatred and nihilism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track with Dark Divination and if you are a fan of raw and old school black metal, you should check out this side of the split.
Next up is Wampyric Rites who return with their raw, old school and vampyric style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast sound along with a good amount of blast beats while synths can also be heard in the background. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style as well as the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few growls, tremolo picking is also added into some of the fast riffing and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. The production sounds raw and old school and the lyrics cover Vampirism and Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Wampyric Rites and if you are a fan of raw, old school and vampyric black metal, you should check out their side of t h e split.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of raw and old school black metal. 8 out of 10.
