Description

Originally recorded and intended for release in 2008, this split has been buried in obscurity until now. Shelved without proper distribution, the cassette remains an elusive gem—until its long-awaited, proper unveiling. For the first time, this highly anticipated split is made available to the public, giving fans a rare opportunity to hear the distinct sounds of two underground projects from a bygone era.

Godemiché, well-known for their Velvet Cacoon worship, delivers a dreamy and hypnotic take on atmospheric, lo-fi Black Metal. Ethereal, immersive, and drenched in melancholic melody, their tracks evoke the misty, isolationist sound that Velvet Cacoon popularized, drenched in an air of mystery and despair.

On the flip side, Ritualmord takes a more unpredictable path. Their side is a wild and unhinged concoction of chaos, weaving in elements reminiscent of Dawnfall, but with a far more experimental and erratic approach. The tracks are imbued with strange, almost absurd moments, blending in Dungeon Synth passages that draw the listener into a surreal, eerie landscape, before launching back into abrasive and frenzied Black Metal riffs. A sense of madness looms over their contribution, where the boundaries of genre are intentionally blurred, offering something darker and more avant-garde.

This split offers a fascinating contrast between two visions of the underground, both raw and haunting in their own unique way. Released with care for those who appreciate the obscure and the underground, this cassette is a crucial addition for collectors of extreme, atmospheric Black Metal.

Now available, after over a decade of waiting.
