A phenomenal split between a pair of phenomenal black metal solo projects. As always, Tenebrae in Perpetuum does everything right -- raw but massive sounding guitars and drums, spectral, reverb-drenched howls, simplistic but extremely effective songwriting -- and this split contains some of the project's most haunting work.

Krohm is the work of Dario Derna, whose past and present projects have included Drawn and Quartered, Evoken, Funebrarum, and Ritual Chamber. Sickly, interwoven guitar lines, drum machine, and intermittent death rattles.

I rained down as a silent sound
From abysmal skies that owned my torment
