*This review was written in 2016 since this album was initially planned for a 2016 release through Sunmask at this time.
This is a review of a split album between Nova Scotis, Canada's Sea Witch and Saskatchewan, Canada's Black Tremor which will be released in October by Sunmask and we will start off the review with Sea Witch a band that plays an instrumental form of blackened doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark ambient orientated sound and after awhile the music goes into a heavier and more atmospheric direction along with some melodic guitar leads and you can also hear a lot of doom metal elements in the bands musical style which they also mix in with some atmospheric black metal influences and most of their tracks are very long and epic in length and contain no vocals and all of the songs stick to a very slow musical direction and the production sounds very professional.
In my opinion Sea Witch are a very great sounding atmospheric and instrumental blackened doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Green Tide".
Next up is Black Tremor a band that plays an instrumental form of stoner folk doom.
Their side of the split starts out with clean guitar playing along with some violins a few seconds later and after awhile the add in drum beats and bass guitars and the guitar leads bring in elements of post metal while the heavy riffs are done in more of a stoner and doom metal fashion and both of the tracks are very long and epic and stick to a very slow musical direction and the production sounds very professional.
In my opinion Black Tremor are a very great sounding instrumental stoner folk/doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Hexus Part One".
In conclusion i feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of doom or blackened doom metal.
