This is a review of a spit album between Portland Oregon's Hound The Wolves and Glasghote which will be self released in August and we will start off the review with Hound The Wolves a band that plays a mixture of drone, psychedelic and stoner metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some acoustic guitars along with a brief use of guitar slides and both of their tracks are very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them while the music also brings in a great amount of psychedelic elements.
Clean vocals can also be heard at times while the heavier and slower sections of the songs bring in elements of stoner, sludge and doom metal as well as adding some atmospheric sounding drones into certain sections of the recording and all of their music sticks to a very slow direction, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover occultism, numerology and sacred geometry themes.
In my opinion Hound The Wolves are a very great sounding mixture of drone, psychedelic and stoner metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Live through the Day, Run Through the Note".
Next up is Glasghote a band that plays a mixture of sludge and doom metal.
Their side of the split starts out with some slow yet heavy sludge style riffing while the vocals are angry yet high pitched sounding screams. Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the music along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them.
The riffs also add in a small amount of dark sounding melodies along with some growls also being added into the background briefly and both of the tracks stick to a slower musical direction as well as adding in some distorted amp noises at times. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover darkness and mythology themes.
In my opinion Glasghote 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 "Eye of Ra".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of stoner, sludge and doom metal. 8 out of 10.
Hound the Wolves
Glasghote
