THE BEAST

Demonologists/Dodssang Tempel - Split - Reviewed By hatredmeanswarzine ! Check it out here at this link: https://hatredmeanswarzine.blogspot.com/2022/08/demonologistsdodssang-tempelphage.html

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  album  between  U.S.A's  Demonologists  and  Dodssang  Tempel  which  was  released  as  a  joint  effort  between  Pahage  Tapes  and  Liquid  Death  Records  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Demonologists  a   solo  project  that  plays  a  mixture  of  death  industrial,  harsh  noise  and  power  electronics.

  His  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  some  percussion  and  ambient  style  soundscapes  and  synths  before  adding  in  some  spoken  word  parts.  Power  electronics  can  be  heard  in  the  background  at times  which  also  evolve  into  harsh  sounding  noises  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  industrial  style  programmed  beats.

 All  of  the  tracks  also  sound   very  different  from  each  other   along  with  the  high  pitched  screams  and  whispers  also  adding  in  a  touch  of  black  metal  and  the robotic  also  bring  in  a  very  sci-fi  orientated  atmosphere  as  well  as  each  song  also  sounding  very  different  from  each  other.,  female  vocals can  also  be  heard  briefly.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  song  themes  focus  on  occultism  and  darkness. 

  In  my  opinion  Demonologist  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  death  industrial,  harsh  noise  and  power  electronics  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  solo  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE "Skull  Crawler"  and  "Ascendancy  Of  hell".

  Next  up  is  Dodssang  Tempel  a  solo  project  that  plays  a  mixture  of  death  industrial,  harsh  noise  and  power  electronics.

  His  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  some  choirs  and  Gregorian  chants  before  going  into  more  of  a  harsh  noise  direction.  At  times  the  music  also  brings  in  the  more  brutal  side  of  death  industrial  along  with  the  power  electronics  also  adding  in  some  atmospheric  touches  on  later  tracks  while  each  song  sounds  very  different  from  each  other  and  the  production  sounds  very  dark.

  In  my  opinion  Dodssang  Tempel  is  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  death  industrial,  harsh  noise  and  power  electronics  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  solo  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "SLAKLE  I"  and  "SKJENDE  II".

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  death  industrial, harsh  noise  and  power  electronics. - hatredmeanswarzine
