Cheryl's Favourite Black Metal Splits of 2022
Splits are a great opportunity for a band to release some new music if a full length is not yet forthcoming as well as introduce fans to another band that may appeal. Splits can be used for more experimental takes or for bridging gaps in sound that may not have been so obvious before Splits are fun.
1
Crucifixion Bell / Krieg - Split
Krieg's first new music in four years and Crucifixion Bell's fifth EP since their debut full length in 2021. Opposites attract.
Listen here.
2
Grinning God / Spider God - Split
The God's come together to meld post-punk influence metal with the best of the UK underground.
Listen here.
3
Lamp Of Murmuur / Ebony Pendant - Plenilunar Requiems
Lamp Of Murmuur's raw black metal goes against Ebony Pendant's own take on the genre in this heady split.
Listen here.
4
Nightmare Ecstasy / Celestial Sword - The Wails of Winter Resound Through Desolate Eternity
Raw ambient black metal meets..... raw ambient black metal with a healthy dose of spectral synths to keep things interesting.
Listen here.
5
Tchnornobog / Abyssal - Split
Blackened death doom at its finest in long-form compositions that incorporate the same motifs throughout - can you find them all?
Listen here.
