Nuclear Winter contribute two tracks, weighing in at over half an hour in all. Hypnotic, gloomy, based on atmospheric keyboard dirges and a guitar buzz in the background, Nuclear Winter go as far as replacing the old black metal rasp with a despondent, morose distorted voice to increase the doom in their sound. Variations are few and far between, as Nuclear Winter make no compromise in achieving their hypnotic musical goal. Early on, the repetitive pattern of the percussion is rather inadequate for the music, but it eventually changes into something equally simple and less jarring and ends up changing back and forth between the two. The second, eight minute long track, is almost entirely dark ambient and features only some spoken vocals, with the guitars and drums (and bells!) only coming in near the end. Although different from the first track, it maintains the same general feeling.

This split CD harvests a significant amount of its marks from the atmosphere it manages to create, as neither band's black metal is amazing per se. Nevertheless, the two of them together, combined with the ambient bits, sombre layout and the whole attitude, ensure this is a release that dedicated fans of underground black metal should definitely consider acquiring.
