This is a review of a split album between Netherlands Wilderness Hymnal and United Kingdom's Duncan Evans called "Until Liars Fear You" which will be released in November by Trepanation Recordings and we will start off the review with Wilderness Hymnal a solo artist that plays a mixture of drone, post metal, folk, psychedelic, chamber music and glacial electronics.
His side of the split starts out with some clean vocals and atmospheric sounding drones while one track also introduces clean guitars onto his side of the recording. All of the drum beats are also programmed along with all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and elements of post metal can also be heard at times.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with some music also adding in some electronic and psychedelic touches at times. All of his tracks also sound very different from each other as well as the percussion also giving the music more of a tribal feeling when they are utilized and some songs also add in stringed instruments. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover overcoming violence and escaping grief with some alchemical touches.
In my opinion Wilderness Hymnal is a very great sounding mixture of drone, post metal, folk, psychedelic, chamber music and glacial electronics and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I Buried My Teeth" and "Three tempers".
Next up is Duncan Evans a solo artist that plays a mixture of dark folk and post punk.
His side of the split starts out with some post punk and new wave style synths while the vocals are all done in a clean style. All of the drum beats are also programmed along with some electric and bass guitars also being utilized at times as well as the screams also adding in touches of black metal and industrial when they are utilized.
The music also has its experimental moments along with all of the tracks also sounding very different from each other. Elements of folk music can also be heard at times as well as the music also capturing a very melancholic atmosphere and acoustic guitars and spoken word parts can also be heard on the closing track. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover overcoming violence and escaping grief with some influences of classic literature.
In my opinion Duncan Evans is a very great sounding mixture of dark folk and post punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deadheading" and "Mouse Mask".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and i would recommend it to all fans of drone, post metal, psychedelic, folk and electronic music. 8 out of 10.
