Venymysgourvleydh / Collier d’Ombre – Split CD (2023)

January 12, 2025

On this split, Venymysgourvleydh provide us with a dense and claustrophobic black metal experience. The drum programming on this session is so relentless that it’s almost quite suffocating; entering the realms of grind or even gabber with it’s hypnotic and over-the-top barrage of percussion. Underneath however is a morose layer of weeping riffs and wraith-like vocals, which is just lovely, to be honest.

Collier d’Ombre are not a million miles away from that same sonic palette, minus the Phalanx CIWS drum machine, making for an excellent and well-matched split.
