This is a review of a split album between Slovakia's Autumn Nostalgie and Hungary's Hænesy called "Awakening Mechanon" which will be released in June as a joint effort between Purity Through Fire and Northern Silence Productions and we will start off the review with Hænesy who return with their atmospheric style of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with the sounds of bells along with some clean playing and atmospheric sounding synths a few seconds later before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. You can also h ear all of the musical instruments that are present on t heir side of the recording.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. When t he music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling as well as both of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hænesy and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Through The Storm of Everlasting Complaints".
Next up is Autumn Nostalgie who return with their atmospheric style of post black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with melodic post metal style guitar solos and leads while both of their tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
The music also has its atmospheric moments along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives their side of the recording more of a raw feeling. Clean playing can also be heard on both tracks and the closing song also adds in a brief use of nature sounds and spoken word parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nostalgia, death and subjective idealism.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Autumn Nostalgie and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRQACK "Sarepta".
In my opinion this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of atmospheric and post black metal. 8 out of 10.
