Split with CAPEL BEULAH

bubolunastella I always like my sacred with a little bit of profane. Its the saintly-headed imp screams for me.

Manus Ainger A favourite split from recent years. I was already a fan of Capel Beulah & the Pembrokeshire Black Circle scene so it’s Olkoth who were the discovery for me here. Amazing stuff, striking the perfect balance between rawness & melancholy. Their hypnotic and mysterious riffs are exactly what I’m looking for in BM. Favorite track: Olkoth - Cold Dark Horizons.

about

A sonic blood pact between two of the nowadays black metal underground’s most promising hordes, this split album between CAPEL BEULAH and OLKOTH features seven exclusive tracks spread across 44 minutes. CAPEL BEULAH are up first, and strike with four ghoulish tracks that are manic delirium incarnate. Righteously raw yet somehow strangely spacious, blitzed and brittle but overwhelmingly physical, almost to the point of perverse headbanging, the UK quartet’s entry here invokes a diabolically authentic first-wave atmosphere. Names thus invoked include very earliest Mayhem, Hungary’s Tormentor, and Germany’s Poison, but there’s a wonderfully strange balance here between ghostliness and trashiness.

While it’s been three years since SIGNAL REX released OLKOTH’s first two demos on vinyl format as The Immortal Depths & Treasures of Necromancy, it does not mean the band have been idle. In fact, to coincide with the release of this split album, OLKOTH are releasing the Promo 2022 tape simultaneously, with both these recordings in anticipation of the band’s long-awaited debut album. And indeed, if their three tracks here are any indication, OLKOTH’s resultant debut full-length should be malevolent and majestic indeed. On this split, the band offer two “new versions” of songs they’ve previously never revealed publicly, alongside another all-new track. By any designation they go by, OLKOTH’s songwriting continues to betray a depth of imagination even when pushed through such a stratifyingly raw soundfield; the riffs here are smeared and weird, with a dusting of spectral synths to push their entry further into the realm of otherworldly. No more words needed!

This is black metal perfection from back to front. Previous releases were too overproduced, while this really stands out. Wicked atmosphere and kick ass performance. 10/10. Bestia

Rundagard is legitimately a great example of 90's worship done right. The mix of raw yet listenable recordings, violent vocals and an infusion of synths and preludes make this album a perfect display of why Black Metal is best to be left in the underground! Majestic performance! Gabriel Tamas
