Invunche / Ifernach (Netherlands / Canada) - S/T (Split 2020)

Another terrific split, 2020 has definitely had some great splits coming out and this one is definitely one not to pass. Asplit that seemed bound to happen given both projects being torch-bearers of aboriginal Black Metal.

The shamanic Black/Punk master, El Invunche, returns with his andean ordeals, poisonous incantations masterfully executed and definitely a step further from everything he has conjured before. A brilliant balance between the Punk-ish stomps and Black Metal's vilest incursions, which are more present here than in previous works, amazingly enriched by his psychedelic flairs.

Ifernach on the other hand surprises with something completely different, even more surprising considering his last album was somewhat of an enchanting ode to Blazebirth Hall. This is totally different however. While some tracks are still Black/Punk, somewhat in the vein of "Skin Stone Blood Bone", this is really mostly Hardcore Punk soaked in filth and a really old-school productions, occasionally with Death Metal and Grindcore passages as well. Something along the lines of Extreme Noise Terror, Agathocles and Impetigo. Brilliantly executed and sick tracks, although Black Metal purists might wanna step back.

Released on 12'' LP via Tour de Garde.
