Geheimnisvoll / Borda’s Rope – Split Cassette (2019)

October 21, 2024

Beautiful split, if I could be so bold as to say so. Geheimnisvoll remind me a little of Satanic Warmaster, but the riffs are a bit more morose and with that trademark “2nd wave repetition”. Vocals are barely decipherable and sound like whispers from a deep and unfathomable tomb or cave. Borda’s Rope are very lo-fi but the guitar work on this thing is second to none. A bit more bare bones all in all compared to their split mate(s), but these compositions really do take you on a journey. Excellent stuff.
