This is a review of a split album between Belgium's Syndrome, France's Monotonos and Sequences called "Fall Of Man" which was released by ConSouling Sounds in 2011 and we will start of the review with Syndrome with their music this time being dark ambient/drone/doom metal.
Rhythm guitars are all slow riffs that combine drone and doom metal together to create a sound of their own as well as a good amount of soft and clean playing, while the sound effects bring the experimental and dark ambient sounds to the recording.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from t heir side of the recording with the music being all instrumental, while the song themes cover darkness, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound with the song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Syndrome and if you are a fan of dark ambeint/drone/doom metal you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Monotonos a band that combines dark ambient/drone with neo folk.
Acoustic guitars use finger picking and full chords to add the neo folk elements to the recording, while the synths bring the dark ambient/drone elements to the recording and they are the only 2 instruments that are present on their side of the recording.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from their side of the recording with the music being all instrumental, while the song themes cover darkness, as for the production it has a very dark raw and primitive sound with the song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Monotonos are a very great sounding hybrid of dark ambient and neo folk and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the recording. RECOMMENDED.
Next up is Sequences a band that plays dark ambient/drone.
Synths and song effects bring the dark ambient drone elements to the music along with some distorted noise elements and they are the only musical instrument present on this side of the recording bringing a ritualistic quality to the split.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from their side of the recording with the music being all instrumental, while the song theme covers darkness, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with the song being long and epic in length.
On the last song all 3 bands team up together to create a very long and epic dark ambient drone song.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of dark ambient/drone. RECOMMENDED BUY.
