This is a review of a split album between Germany's Kriegszittern and Minenfeld which was released by Caligari Records and we will start off the review with Kriegszittern a band that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of crust and death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with distorted drones along with some dark and melodic guitar riffing a few seconds later and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording and after awhile the music starts to bring in elements of crust and d beat along with 90's death metal influences.
Most of the vocals are death metal growls and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the riffs also b ring in a great amount of r aw and primitive aggression and throughout their side of the recording you can hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they done in a very dark and melodic fashion and high pitched screams are used briefly along with the music always remaining heavy, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover war, death, loss and sacrifice themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kriegszittern and if you re a fan of crust and death metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Green Hell" and "Dance Of Death".
Next up is Minenfeld a band that plays a war themed style of death metal.
Their side of the split starts out with music and commericial samples form the world war era before going into a darker yet heavy musical direction along with some death metal growls and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording and the riffs also bring in a great amount of raw and primitive elements.
Most of their music is very heavily rooted in the 90's and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a small amount of melody and the fast riffs also use a decent amount of tremolo picking, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German cover war themes.
In my opinion Minenfeld are a very great sounding war themed death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Assault" and "On Gruesome Pathways".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of crust and death metal. 8 out of 10.
