Tenebrae in Perpetuum/Krohm Split - REVIEW

Tenebrae in Perpetuum was a band I never heard about within the underground BM scene, but they turned out to be different and better than the norm.

Krohm is a different beast altogether and well known for being one of the more stand out American Black Metal bands. Actually Krohm is a huge favorite of mine so this release was mainly demanding my attention for that very reason. Luckily both bands put forth great quality efforts of dark and transcending eerie black metal that doesnt disappoint.

TIP is an Italian band and tracks make up first half of the album and their songs do eminate quite a picturesque somber mood, where you can definitely sense the cold anguish and at the same that eerie vibe making it that much more interesting. Krohm does what Krohm does best and put the listener into that dark haunting trance of psychadelia that to me is what black metal is all about.

Overall this release is very satisfying. If you like your black metal extremely black, weird, raw (not bag of rocks in a can type rawness), but good raw production than looks no further than this release.
