Satanath / Striborg
Prisoners Of The Solar System
GrimmDistribution / Death Portal Studio
Satanath (Rus) uses only synthesisers/keyboards to create the music. Neither drums nor guitars feature in those 5 songs.
Opening track is sort of ominous, mysterious, dark and atmospheric, more in a mood of sci-fi than horror. Cosmic Prisoner could be attached to some anime or short movie as a soundtrack because when I listen to those tunes, they kind of tell a story without words. Yes, it`s instrumental material from Satanath. Second track continuous mysteries of the first song but vintage/computer effects that has been added to the music along, with some strange industrial distortions as well, made this musical narration by Satanath started to sound a little more tense.
Astral Symphonies is a “quieter” track, like a passage between what was and what is to come...
Kilasanthra has a weird claustrophobic feel. Bell tolls effects make music sounds moody and mournful... Darkspace Aura that comes right after sounds similar to Kilasanthra but atmosphere of the song goes full dark.
Next band on this split is Striborg from Australia. Drum samples, more condensed effects and black metal vocals are main differences between bands on this release.
Better song for me is Interdimensional Transcendence that offers wide and more vivid spectrum of effects, including generated percussion beats. There is a very 80`s era feel to the music in this track, like in “B” horror movies from that period of time.
Empty Sorrow seems to have real drums, which of course, is in plus for the music itself. Creepy black metal voice and attempts in singing with clean vocals, also came out ordinarily well for the song.
The Burden Of Existence is a harsh and atmospheric track with repeatable, bombastically dark but memorable keyboard passage. Hideous and nightmare vocals in the song are not bad if you like it this way...
A Nighttime Perplexity is a slowed paced and abyssal track with many percussion accents.
Proceeding From A Dark Place is another slow and moody song with organ generated effect and medieval vocals. This track is certainly a highlight of the album.
Last track (11) of this album is more disturbing, kind like a war zone of computer effects that Striborg allowed himself to play in those last moments of this interesting split album.
All tracks on this record come from bands various releases.
