This is a review of a split album between Norway's Perdition Hearse and Soul Transition called a "A Change In The Underworld" which was released by Old House Records and we will start off the review with Perdition Hearse a band that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an old school form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some keyboards and black metal screams before going into a heavier direction. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school erta of the genre while dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the riffing and elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars. Clear singing is also used at times as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words are utilized briefly. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover occultism, death and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Perdition Hearse and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mindtripper" and "Fanitullen".
Next up is Soul Transition a band that plays a mixture of black and thrash metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a thrash metal influenced sound while the vocals add in more of a clear singing style with some black metal aggression. Clean playing can also be heard briefly as well as most of the songs sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, fast playing and blast beats are also introduced on a later song, some of the riffs also add in a small amount of melody. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover death, dying and mythological themes.
In my opinion Soul Transition are a very great sounding mixture of black and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Call From Within".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of old school black and thrash metal, you should check out this album. 8 out of 10.
