This is one fantastic split. Containing probably the best material I have heard from both bands.
Horna starts off with their four tracks of primitive yet chaotic and hypnotizing hymns, Corvus vocals are insane on this release, and probably the best I have ever heard him perform, he is insanely hysterical on this recording. The music itself is also the best Horna I have ever heard, the songs are so fucking aggressive, old school, but still it is original and have a fresh sound. Corvus vocals of course takes the aggression to a much higher level than the music would with a more normal sounding vocalist, so thumbs up to him for giving this release that extra violence and insanity. There is not one single second where these four songs begin to shake or loses my attention, you cannot help but be embraced by it.
As soon as Behexen's part starts you know that you are in for a special treat, it is very different from the material on the two full-lenght albums, here they have a much more melancholic and beautiful yet evil and dark sound. This shit completely embraces you, and you are getting on your way to another world, you can just feel your mind slip away, simply amazing. Hoath Torog's vocals fits the music extremely well, he uses pretty much the same voice as we have come to know, but they feel more controlled here, which makes the atmosphere fantastic. Behexen also have that old school vibe, but the production is not raw at all, it is nowhere near the raw production that was on "By the Blessing of Satan", that was a good choice, since the production here fits the music, and makes the atmosphere so intense. Again with Behexen's part I can not find one tiny second of weakness, and this is in my opinion the best recording this band has ever made and probably will make.
I don't think that more words are needed, just buy this release and let it embrace you. From the violent aggression accompanied by the hysterical loud screams of Corvus to the melancholic and evil atmosphere by Behexen.
95/100
