Ash Borer/Fell Voices split ep


Two of our favourite current black metal bands are touring together and releasing a split single at the end of July/August.  They both play some kind of post-* strain of black metal, but they go beyond that with their seperate interpretations of the genre, and each with their own convictions of direction.  Ash Borer's sound is more refined and elegant, whereas Fell Voices is feral, dystopian and savage.

Ash Borer just posted a sample of their half of the split on their blog, reposted HERE:

SAMPLE.

Fell Voices are much less into the internet in that way, preferring to never post anything digitally as much as possible; their MySpace contains 3 samples from their first ep as acknowledgement of it;s usefulness as a 'social tool' but their blog exhorts people to listen to their recordings in full in a more suitable environment than in front of a monitor. Inattentive listening isn't really possible with either of these bands.

Here's a video of them live to show you why.

    I would generally agree, but after hearing the split, I'm not sure Ash Boere remains so "elegant." They're amazing no doubt, but the song on the split is quite raucous.
