Infuneral / The Last Knell: Split

18/12/13  ||  Cobal

Split albums have a special appeal for records collectors, especially for those interested in black metal. Take this one for instance: it has everything a lover of underground black art could look for, namely a limited edition, two bands separate by a whole ocean and two not-that-different approach to the most obscure form of metal music. Never in my life had I heard about these two acts. Infuneral on one hand play cold and raw riffs in the most traditional Scandinavian way. They could easily be taken as one of those infinite bands of the second wave… Except they aren’t.

The Last Knell, for their part, go for a more aggressive form of playing, up to the point of flirting with death metal at times. While I do enjoy these kind of underground releases from separate continents and by amateur yet passionate acts, I’d hardly come back to any of these six songs even if I were the happy owner of one of the 500 copies that were issued.

In so many words, ONLY FOR COLLECTORS.

6 trve tracks out of… 10!!! What else did you expect?
