This  is  a  review  of  a  self  released  split  album  between  Tennessee's  Obsidian  Shrine  and  Illinois's  Sôlt  called  "Consortium  In  Diaboli"  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Obsidian  Shrine  a  band  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  a  satanic  form  of  black  metal.


  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  the  sounds  of  fire  and  demonic  voices  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  while t he  vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  and  the  music  is  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era.


  A  small  amount  of  melody  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also  remaining  true  to  an  old  school  style  as  well  as  some  battle  horns  also  being  added  on  one  of  the  tracks  and  throughout  their  side  of  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts,  choirs  can  also  be  heard  briefly  towards  the end.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Luciferian,  Mythology,  Blasphemy,  Anti  Christianity  and  hatred  themes.  


  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Obsidian  Shrine  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  satanic  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Call  of  Charon".


  Next  up  is  Sôlt  a  band  that  plays  a  misanthropic  form  of  black  metal.


  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  some  clean  playing  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast b eats.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  and  the  songs  also  mix  in  a  good  amount  of  old  school  influences.


  Throughout  their  side  of  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  as  well  as  giving  the  tracks  more  of  a  modern  touch.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  nihilism,  hypocrisy  and  spiritual  collapse  themes.


  In  my  opinion  Sôlt  are  a  very  great  sounding  misanthropic  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Our  Lady  of  Pestilence".


  In  my  opinion  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  raw,  old  school  satanic  and  misanthropic  black  metal.  8  out  of  10. occultblackmetalzine
