This is a review of a split album between Thoreous and Black Crow King called "The Grace Of Pettiness" which was released by badGod music in the year of 2013 and we will start of the r eview with Germany's Thoreous which mixes drone, doom, experimental and noise together.
Drum programming ranges from slow to mid paced beats, while the sound effects and synths bring elements of drone, experimental and noise to their side of the recording, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine doom metal, drone and noise together along with a great amount of heavy distortion behind the riffing, while the lead guitars are very distorted sounding guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from weird vocals, deep growls and high pitched screams which brings a black metal/noise sound to the recording, while the lyrics cover Occultism, Sadistic and Perverted themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound to it with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Thoreous are a very great sounding hybrid of doom metal, drone, noise and experimental and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Genital Scalps Of The SS Impressing Our Prurient Lollipop Balding" and "Occult Masturbation Wets The Sceptre Of Darkness Injected. R ECOMMENDED.
Next up is Black Crow King a band that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style that mixes black metal, drone, experimental, doom and sludge together.
Drums range from slow to mid paced drumming with no fast playing or blast beats being present on their side of the recording, while the synths bring elements of ambient, drone and experimental to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine black metal, drone, sludge and doom metal together to create a sound of their own with a great amount of heavy distortion behind the riffing and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals are all deep and high pitched blackened death metal growls and screams, while the lyrics cover darkness and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Black Crow King and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Legacy Of Dust" and "The Beast Within". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel t his is a very great sounding split and I would recommend to all fans of black metal, drone, doom, sludge, experimental and noise. RECOMMENDED BUY.
