This is a review of a split ep between Croatia's Hazarder and Hesperian Death Horse with the recording being called "The Electric Wizard EP" and released by PMK Records in the year of 2014 and we will start off the review with Hazarder a band that plays a mixture of sludge, stoner and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts off with a very heavy and dark doom metal sound along with all of the musical instruments sounding very powerful and a minute later death/doom metal growls are added into the music and towards the end drones are added into their side of the recording.
Song lyrics cover occult themes, while the production has a very dark and heavy sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the split.
In my opinion Hazarder are a very great sounding mixture of sludge, stoner and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band.
Next up is Hesparian Death Horse which continues their mixture of black, post, sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts off with clean playing and experimental sounds and after a couple of minutes the music gets a lot more heavy along with some black metal screams while also having a good amount of melody and drones and after awhile they bring in a mixture of clean and heavy parts and towards the end blast beats are added into the music.
Song lyrics cover occult themes, while the production has a very dark and heavy sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording along with their only song being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Hesperian Death Horse and if you are a fan of blackened post sludge, you should check out their side of the split.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of black, sludge and doom metal. 8 out of 10.
