This is a review of a 4 way split album between Weeping Glass, Sun Through Eyelids, Experiment#508 and A Bleeding Star called "Polar Shadows" which was released by Eighth Tower Records and we will start off the review with Weeping Glass a project that plays a mixture of dark ambient, noise and drone.
Their side of the split starts out with atmospheric sounding drones while ambient style synths are also used quite a bit throughout their side of the recording while the music also brings in a great amount of soundscapes as w ell as both of their tracks being instrumentals and also bringing in elements of noise, acoustic guitars are added onto the second track and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Weeping Glass are a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, drone and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this project. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Bisk Orta".
Next up is Sun Through Eyelids a musical project that plays dark ambient
Their side of the split starts out with some atmospheric soundscapes along with some dark ambient style synths a few seconds later while spoken word parts can also be heard at time but done with a more sci-fi style as well as all 3 tracks sounding different from each other and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Sun Through Eyelids are a very great sounding dark ambient project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Descent".
Next up is Experiment#508 a music project that plays a mixture of dark ambient, noise, industrial and experimental.
His side of the split starts out with some avant garde style soundscapes along with some elements of harsh noise a few seconds later while the music also brings in a great amount of atmospheric drones as well as all of their tracks being very long and epic in length and as their side of the split progresses the music gets more experimental with soem touches of underground industrial and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Experiment#508 is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, drone and experimental and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out his d]side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "And Death Will Save Us All".
Closing the compilation is A Bleeding Star a music project that plays a mixture of dark ambient and drone.
Their side of the split starts out with some ambient style drones while field recordings are also used at times along with the music also bringing in a great amount of synths as well as the first track being over 20 minutes in length, all of the music is instrumental and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion A Bleeding Star is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient and drone and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Nighthigh".
