This is a review of a self released split between United Kingdom's Coltsblod and U.S.A's Un which will be released in February and we will start off the review with Coltsblood who return with their mixture of sludge and funeral doom metal while also showing more of a black metal influence this time around.
Their side of the split starts out with atmospheric sounding synths and a powerful bass guitar sound which also evolves into more of a slower funeral doom metal direction. Their track is very 20 minutes in length while the vocals are mostly deep death metal growls along with some black metal screams also being used at times.
The riffs also capturing the heaviness of sludge metal while the music also uses a small amount of blast beats when the music finally speeds up. Distorted guitar leads are also added into some parts of the music along with the song also adding clean guitars into some parts of the music and spoken words also being used briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark myths.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Coltsblood which shows them mixing black metal in with their mixture of sludge and funeral doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out their side of the split.
Next up is Un who return with their mixture of funeral doom, death and sludge metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some clean playing along with some drums after awhile while their track is 21 minutes in length. When the music goes into a heavier direction it brings in more of a slow funeral doom metal style which also introduces death metal growls onto their side of the recording.
At times the music also mixes in the heaviness of sludge while the dark and depressive sounding melodies in the riffing go back to the early 90's atmospheric doom/death metal era and the song always sticks to a slower direction as well as some screams also being used briefly, towards the end drones are also added into the music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, emptiness, grief and desolation themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Un which shows their music going into more of a heavier direction than previous releases and if you are a fan of sludge and doom metal, 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 sludge and funeral doom/death metal. 8 out of 10.
