If anyone could explain the unusual title for this split album, I’d love to hear it. Something to do with Thelema I imagine.

First out is Devathorn from Greece. Their opening track The Venemous Advent is a dark celebration of pestilence, from the point of view of the Plague itself. It paints a bleak picture of the scourge’s victory, wiping out the firstborn of Egypt. The vocals are layered and mixed well, not so obviously the frontpiece of each track. Neither does the band rely overly on tremelo picking, the staple of black metal. And there’s a fair amount of bass even! Devathorn is definitely not your speedly, treble heavy screechy black metal. It’s more your down tuned, relentlessly evil in lyric and tone kind. I find this kind much more effective at sustaining the mood. The other track Diadema MMXII is more or less typical black metal complaining about the hypocrisy of religion. It is paired well with the first track and is just as good, but doesn’t contain any surprises.

Blaze Of Perdition’s first offering Abbey Of The New Aeon starts with a Peter Baelish quote from Game Of Thrones, the TV show. Between Two Crescent Moons is the second track and its not that straight forward black metal like before and it needs a couple of listens before you find a path in the chaos. So it turns out that these two songs are just quite unlike most of the stuff, which Blaze Of Perdition has recorded before. Both of them are quite catchy but still deeply rooted within the black metal sound
