A split 7” might seem like an great idea on paper but once you put in on your turntable you’ll realized that it means more work than it might be worth. All that turning the vinyl has to pay off for it to be worthwhile. How do you review a split 7”? a split between a Greek and a Russian black metal band. The Greek side makes me think of a more dramatic Satyricon. There is that same feel to this track that with an added touch of something that seems genuine Greek. The Russian side is more conventional mid tempo black metal but with a dramatic touch too. This is a split that compliments each other in an almost perfect harmony. Now that I’ve become acquainted with these bands I need to check them out further. Anders Ekdahl
