This is a review of a split album between Colorado's Primitive Man and new York's Unearthly Trance which will be released in August by Relapse Records and we will start off the review with Primitive Man who return with their blackened mixture of noise, sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a harsh noise intro while spoken word samples can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction along with a great amount of distorted drones as well as both of their tracks being very long and epic in length and the slow riffs bring in the heaviness of sludge and doom metal.
When vocals are utilized they are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them along with both of the tracks sticking to a very slow direction as well as the noise elements returning on the second track, the production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover hatred and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Primitive Man and if you are a fan of noise, black, sludge and doom metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Naked".
Next up is Unearthly Trance who return with their blackened mixture of sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very slow and heavy sound which is very heavily rooted in sludge and doom metal while a couple of their tracks are very long and epic in length along with the screams adding in elements of black metal, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and elements of noise can be heard on the closing track, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover seasons, occultism, hallucination themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Unearthly Trance and if you are a fan of black, sludge and doom metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Reverse the Day".
In conclusion i feel this is a very great sounding split and if you are a fan of black, sludge and doom metal, you should check out this split. 8 out of 10.
