This is a review of a split ep between Washington's Sataray and California's Zanai Morgan called "Argyropeia" which will be released in 2021 by Scry Recordings and we will start off the review with Sataray a solo project that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very ritualistic from of dark ambient.
Her side of the split starts out with dark ambient style synths which also use a variety of many different sounding keys. When vocals are utilized they are also done in a very dark and ritualistic style along with some melodic chants as well as all of her tracks being very long and epic in length,
Programmed beats can also be heard briefly but keeping the focus mainly on synths along with one of the tracks also introducing whispered vocals onto her side of the split as well as each song also sounding very different from each other. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover ritualistic and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Sataray and if you are a fan of ritualistic dark ambient, you should check out her side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Rain".
Next up is Zania Morgan a solo project that plays a dark form of ritualwave.
Her side of the split starts out with some dark ambient style soundscapes and synths which also use a variety of many different sounding keys while both of her tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are done in mostly in a clean darkwave style and programmed beats can also b e heard at times.
At times the music also captures a very ritualistic and ethereal atmosphere along with some nature sounds also being utilized briefly as well as the second track also adding in some spoken word parts and more of an occult atmosphere. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover ritualistic themes.
In my opinion Zania Morgan is a very great sounding dark ritualwave solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out her side of the split. RECDOMMENDED TRACK "Nyx Ambrosia".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and would recommend it to all fans of ritualistic dark ambient. 8 out of 10.
