Annulment IllXFated - 2016 Split

Review by Pantira Aswakitkajorn

Annulment IllXFated's 2016 Split album is a must-listen for fans of experimental and avant-garde metal. The album is a collaboration between two distinct bands, each bringing their unique sound and style to the table. The first half of the album features Annulment's signature blend of black metal and industrial, with hauntingly atmospheric tracks like "The Abyss" and "Catacombs of the Mind."

The second half of the album is dominated by IllXFated's brutal death metal sound, with tracks like "Evisceration" and "Carnivorous Consumption" showcasing the band's technical prowess and relentless aggression. Despite the contrast in styles, the two bands complement each other perfectly, creating a cohesive and dynamic listening experience.

One of the standout features of the album is the excellent production, which allows each instrument and vocal to shine through clearly. The mix is balanced and the sound is crisp, making for a highly immersive listening experience.
