Yellow Eyes​/​Monvment "Split"

I was really caught by surprise when i saw the announcement of this split tape between my beloved Yellow Eyes, who last year released a masterpiece of what we might call a modern-avant-gard-new-wave of usbm, a really impressive debut. And on the other hand we have the mysterious Monvment, a very low-fi and raw black metal act that i know only from their Demo "I". This time both bands go a little bit further with their sound in this split tape. Monvment isn't as raw and low-li as in their demo and I also feel some small changes on Yellow Eyes sound, the voice isn't as strident as heard in "Silence Threads The Evening's Cloth", but the song structure follows the album's lineage. Nonetheless, a split release that is really worthy of your attention. Tape available for purchase here. Follow the link below to hear/buy/download/whatever you want to do with it.

Monvment of Bones

Yellow Eyes

Este álbum é bom.. não digo excelente senão Satanás aparece para reclamar a minha alma. É melódico, mas não extravagante. Emotivo, sem ser depressivo. Black metal com influências de post-rock ou chaotic hardcore. Para álbum de estreia desta banda norte americana, está do caralho. A última faixa (instrumental) "Cathedral" é simplesmente linda. Fans de Krallice vão certamente gostar deste álbum. Não foi à toa que mereceu um lugar no meu Top de Best Of 2011. Comprovem.
