This is a review of a split album between Netherlands's Doomcult and Russia's Talsur called "Nameless" which was self released in 2019 and we are going to start off the review with Doomcult a solo project who returns with his mixture of the traditional, atmospheric and funeral doom metal genres.
His side of the split starts out with a very slow, dark yet heavy sound while all of his tracks are very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly done in more of a Venom influenced first wave black metal style along with the solos and leads being done in a very depressive and melodic style.
All of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also capturing the darkness of funeral doom metal. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody, one track also brings in clean vocals as well as all of the music sticking to a slower direction and his side of the split closes with a cover of Talsur's "Waters Of Loss which also brings in a brief use of keyboards. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Doomcult and if you are a fan of the traditional, atmospheric and funeral styles of doom metal, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Plague".
Next up is Talsur a solo project that plays a very melodic form of funeral doom/death metal.
His side of the split starts out with some clean playing while most of his tracks are very long and epic in length. A great amount of funeral doom emtal elements can be heard in the slower sections of the music along with the vocals also being done in a very melodic style and the riffs also use a great amount of melody.
When screams are utilized they add in a touch of black metal as well as the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style along with some depressive crying being added into the background briefly. Growls can also be heard at times and all of the music sticks to a slower direction and his side of the split closes with a cover of Doomcult's "Wrath". The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover loneliness, despair and hopelessness themes.
In my opinion Talsur is a very great sounding melodic funeral doom/death metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out his side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Hateful Hour".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of funeral and melodic doom metal. 8 out of 10.
