This is a review of a split album between Belgium's Perverted Ceremony and Finland's Witchcraft called "Nighermancie/Black Candle Invoker" which will be released on October 19th by Nuclear War Now! Productions and we will start off the review with Perverted Ceremony a band that plays a satanic and occult mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very powerful sounding bass guitar while the rhythm guitars also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's style and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized it gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with some keyboards also being added into some parts of the music. The guitar solos and leads stick to more of an old school style as well as the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and elements of death metal can also be heard throughout their side of the recording. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Necromancy and the Black Arts.
In my opinion Perverted Ceremony are a very great sounding satanic and occult mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "In Sin With The Goat".
Next up is Witchcraft a band that plays a satanic mixture of black and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and heavy sound along with some demonic yet bestial vocals. All of t he musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them while keyboards are also added into some parts of the music and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's style along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as a couple of the tracks being very long and epic in length and the music also has its ritualistic moments. The production sounds very dark, raw and old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Witchcraft themes.
In my opinion Witchcraft are a very great sounding satanic and occult mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Seventh Sabbath Night".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of satanic and occult black and death metal. 8/5 out of 10.
