Blood Tyrant/ Departure Chandelier
Split 7" EP
(Nuclear War Now! Productions)
Blood Tyrant’s brooding vehement style of black metal is a perfect opener for this split. The riffs on “The Dark Decree” are frantic and manic in the tradition of black metal’s classic second wave. Indeed, nostalgic melancholy permeates around the entire five-minute track. An atmospheric tandem of keyboards and guitar spreads ominously across “The Dark Decree” until Blood Tyrant reaches the climatic and chilling conclusion powered by thunderous heathen ritual drumming.
Departure Chandelier is no less chilling. Their magnetic aura is crafted within layers of intense tempo shifting total riff devastation that cuts to the bone. The bedlam of this Canadian trio is a gift for those who are eager for more of that cold old school gut wrenching black metal.
