Venowl/Vaba Marat/Sanctum Abyss/2012 Split Cassette Review


  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  cassette  between  Illinois's  Venowl  and  Brazil''s  Vaba  Marat  which  was  released  by  Sanctum  Abyss  and  we  will  start  of  the  review  with  Venowl  which  plays  a  mixture  of  raw  black  metal,  doom  and  noise  on  this  recording.

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

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  fast  black  metal,  drone,  doom  and  noise  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  high  pitched  black  metal  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the   musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  their  song.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  song  from  Venowl  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  black  metal,  drone,  doom  and  noise,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  recording.  RECOMMENDED.

  Next  up  is  Vaba  Marat  which  plays  a  mixture  of  raw  black  metal,  noise  and  punk.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming,  while  the  rhythm  guitars  combine  raw  and  primitive  sounding  black  metal  with  harsh  noise  and  punk  to  create  a  sound  of their  own  with  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  being  present  on  their  song.

  Vocals  are  all  grim  sounding  and  high  pitched  black  metal  screams,  while the  lyrics  are  written  in their  native  tongue  and  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  loud,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to it.

  In  my  opinion  Vaba  Marat  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  raw  black  metal,  noise  and  punk with  the  best  song  on  this  cassette  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  check  out  their  song.  RECOMMENDED.

   In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to all  fans  of  black  metal,  drone,  doom,  noise  and  punk.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
