Aenaon/Satanochio - A Parallel Zoetrope(Split)

\r\n

\r\nI am really\r\ngetting bored of cd’s. And a sweet split 7” vinyl saves the day! I am talking\r\nabout “A Parallel Zoetrope”, a split between Aenaon from Greece and Satanochio From Romania (one\r\ntrack each). So let’s get started!\r\n

\r\nAenaon\r\nside: What we deal here is big balls f#@%ing black metal with really modern\r\nsound that reminded me of Dodheimsgard, new era Mayhem and Borknagar(must be\r\nthe clean backing vocals).The production is just great (mixed by the band’s\r\nguitarist and mastered by Tom Kvalsvoll) and what we get with “I ,Tyrant” is\r\njust a sweet taste of what comes next (the band right now is composing the next\r\nalbum). Seems that after the “Phenomenon” mcd \r\nsome serious music will be released. We are waiting for the new one.\r\n

\r\nSatanochio\r\nside: An avant-garde black metal From Romania.A band that combines the fury of\r\nold black/thrash metal with the intelligent riffs of Ved Buens Ende. The\r\nproduction is not as good as the Aenaon track but it is a live recording mixed\r\nand mastered by the band and certainly gives a raw feeling to their music. Just\r\nfine to my ears and I think that they really have things in common with\r\nAenaon.Extra credit for Mr S., singer of the band that sounds pretty close to\r\nmy all time favorite Kickback and all that kind of fury bands.\r\n

\r\nThe 7” has some\r\ngreat artwork by Costin Chioreanu and I wish it contained more tracks from both\r\nbands.Hail!\r\n

\r\nP.s: The\r\nguys were kind enough to include a promo cd version for those who don’t own a\r\nturntable.\r\n
