This is a review of a split album between Finland's Kerzenlicht and Kirous which will be released on April 15th by Signal Rex and we start off the review with Kerzenlicht a duo that plays a very raw form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with A very dark yet heavy sound while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish tradition along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives their side of the recording more of a raw feeling. The songs also bring in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of the riffing also adding in a small amount of melody, the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Finnish and cover Satanism and Occultism themes.
In my opinion Kerzenlicht are a very great sounding raw black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Key To The Dark Fortress" and "Kahlitu Ikuisuuten".
Next up is Kirous a solo project that plays a very raw and folk music inspired form of black metal.
His side of the split starts out with a very dark sounding intro before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish tradition along with some folk instruments, synths and clean playing also being used briefly. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Finland and darkness themes.
In my opinion Kirous are a very great sounding raw, folk inspired black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Kansa".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and i would recommend it to all fans of raw black metal. 8 out of 10.
