Genres: Black Metal
Label: Godreah Records
Old Corpse Road continue from their first demo with growth into an even better, tighter sounding band on this split CD. The Bones of This Land are not Speechless is an awesome batch of English black metal, infused with classic Celtic/English musical styling and some really cool sounding piano. The guitars, drums, and bass are nice and cold, with seriously kvlt vocals. It’s just great.
9 out of 10.
The Meads of Asphodel’s half of the split, English Black Punk Metal, is only two of their own songs, including a creepy/cool intro with pretty sounding piano and some drones, with sampled speaking throughout. The rest of their half is covers of some classic metal songs, and a blackened version of the Kinks “You Really Got Me”, which is super cool to hear.
