Description

This split release unites two uncompromising visions of black metal extremity, pairing raw Nordic ferocity with expansive Eastern European mysticism.

Gnipahålan delivers “Storm Av Rå Nordisk Dödskonst del II”, a savage continuation of their primitive and hostile aesthetic. Razor-edged riffs surge through relentless, no-frills drumming, while venomous vocals spit contempt with unfiltered intensity. The production is deliberately raw and abrasive, reinforcing black metal as violent expression rather than atmosphere or refinement.

On the opposing side, Evilfeast conjures “Black Witchcraft Over Carpathia”, a stark contrast in approach yet equal in conviction. Sweeping melodies and layered synthesizers unfold across vast, nocturnal soundscapes, guided by steady, trance-inducing rhythms. The music feels ceremonial and immersive, channeling occult solitude, mountain winds, and arcane ritual.

Rather than clashing, the two sides complement one another — raw aggression meeting expansive atmosphere, Nordic hostility counterbalanced by Carpathian mysticism. Together, they form a complete statement on black metal’s dual nature: violence and vision, impulse and invocation.
