This is a review of a split album between Greece's Kleistophobia and Dark Awake called "ΑΜΑΥΡΩΣΙΣ" which was released by AISZINI Records and we will start off the review with KLeistophobia a solo project that plays black ambient.
His side of the split starts out with dark ambient style synths which also add in a variety of man different sounding keys. At times the music also captures the atmosphere of black metal without the heavy and distorted parts along with all of the songs also being instrumentals as well as each track also sounding very different from each other. The production sounds very dark and the song themes focus on Occultism, Black Magick and Darkness.
In my opinion Kleistophobia are a very great sounding black ambient solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dancing With The Goat" and "Mephistopheles".
Next up is Dark Awake a solo project who returns with his mixture of ritual, dark ambient, martial, industrial, neo-folk and neo-classical.
His side of the split starts out with some dark ambient style synths and martial style drum beats which also gives the songs more of an epic atmosphere that is very similar to fantasy movie soundtracks. Touches of neo-classical can also be heard at times and spoken word parts are also added on some of the tracks.
The songs also add in a great amount of ritualistic soundscapes along with each track also sounding different from each other. Melodic chants and throat singing can also be heard briefly as well as some black metal screams also being utilized briefly, one song also adds in a brief use of operatic female vocals. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on Occultism, Left Hand Path and Magick themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dark Awake and if you are a fan of ritual, dark ambient, martial, industrial, neo-folk and neo-classical, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bonds Of Blood And Memory" and "The Anagenesis Of The Sacral Hexecraft".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all f ans of dark ambient and ritualistic music. 8/5 out of 10.
