Their side of the split starts out with some atmospheric sounding synths before going into a ver y fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish tradition and mid tempo sections are also used at times along with one track also adding in a brief use of guitar solos and leads. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Death and Alchemy themes.
In my opinion Alkemist are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of t his musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ujraus ja Eliksiiri".
Next up is Victarium who returns with their satanic style of black metal.

Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, angry shouts are also utilized at times as well as one song also adding in a brief use of spoken words and synths are also introduced on the closing track. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Satanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Victarium and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Totiseti Saatana".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of Finnish black metal. 8 out of 10.
