This is a review of a split album between Indonesia's Barzakh, Malaysia's Goresluts, Japan's Horrific Disease, Thailand's Savage Deity, Brunei's Shadowmirth and Singapore's Suicidal called "6 Ways Of Hell" which was released by Satanath Records and we will start off the review with Barzakh a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a satanic form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very raw and melodic sound that also brings in solos that use melodies and grim yet high pitched black metal screams along with some blast beats and deep growls and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and when spoken word parts are utilized they give the music more of a ritualistic feeling and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them, the production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism and Darkness themes.
