This is a review of a split album between United Kingdom's Mares Of Diomedes and Denmark's Dreich which will be released in September by Heavy Earth Records and we will start off the review with Mares Of Diomedes a band that plays a mixture of sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a distorted drone before adding in heavy sludge and doom metal riffs and after awhile growling vocals are added into the music and there also shouting style vocals also being utilized at times and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and some of the riffing also brings in a small amount of melody and their first track is very long and epic in length and on the second track there is also a brief use of clean playing and both songs stick to a very slow musical direction, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and mythological themes.
In my opinion Mares of Diomedes are a very great sounding mixture of sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Earth Destroyer".
Next up is Dreich a band that plays a mixture of sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very dark and melodic sound which also leads up to a heavier sludge and doom metal style as well as introducing death metal growls onto their side of the recording and high pitched screams can also be heard at times and a couple of their tracks are very long and epic in length and one song also has a brief use of melodic singing in the background and all 3 of the songs stick to a very slow yet heavy musical direction while clean guitars are introduced on the last track along with a few seconds of spoken words, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Dreich are a very great sounding mixture of sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Into the Abyss".
In my opinion this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of sludge and doom metal. 8 out of 10.
