Gromkult/Morte Sinata/Grim Wizard Over A Smoky Cauldron/Glossalia Records/2012 Split EP Review


  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  ep  between  Oregon's  Gromkult  and  Morte  Sinata  called  "Grim  Wizard Over  A  Smoky  Mountain"  which  was  released  by  Glossalia  Records  in  2012  and  we  will  start  of the  review  with  Gromkult  a  band  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  a  very  raw  and  primitive  form  of  black  metal.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  old  school,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  some  melody  being  utilized  at  times  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  and  leads  present  on this  recording.

   Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  with  some  lower  screams being  used  at  times, while  the  lyrics  dark  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Gromkult  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and primitive  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Petals  Of  Hate".  RECOMMENDED.

  Next  up is  Morte  Sinata  a  band  that  plays  a  very  atmospheric,  raw  and  primitive  form  of  black  metal.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  ambient,  raw  and  primitive  sounding,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic,  atmospheric  and  depressive  sounding  black  metal  guitar  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  lower  black  metal  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  sorcery  and  evil,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  lo-fi  raw  and primitive  sound  to it  which  fits  the  dark atmosphere  of the  music.

  In  my  opinion  Morte  Sinata  are  a  very  great  sounding  atmospheric,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "The  Shining  Moon  Entrances  My  Soul".

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  atmospheric,  raw  and  primitive  black  metal.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they h ave  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  with  some  dark  sounding  melodies  being  used  at  times  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  and  leads  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  that  go  very  fast  at  times  along  with  some  deep  demonic  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  the  worship  of  Grom,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Gromkult  are  a  very  great  sounding  dark,  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  black metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Khaoshit Rapethroat".  RECOMMENDED.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  black  metal  riffs  that  are  very  noisy,  raw  and primitive  sounding  in  the  old  school  tradition  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  and  leads  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals a re  mostly  grim  sounding  and  high pitched  black  metal  screams  with  some  deeper  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  satanic  and  anti  christian  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  raw  and primitive  sound  it.

  In  my  opinion  Satanvolk  are  a  very  great  sounding  noisy,  raw  and  primitive  satanic  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a f an  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out their  side  of  the  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Tortured  Forever  By  Satanvolk  In  The  Depths  Of  Hell".  RECOMMENDED.

  In  conclusion  I  feel  that  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  raw  and  primitive  sounding  black  metal.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
