I haven’t done a full-immersion in Depressive for a while and fortunately today I came across that Frostagrath and Viragha split album. Somebody may already know Frostagrath thanks to the reviews of the two last albums on this website; long story short: DSBM project carried on by the Egyptian Lord Mist. Concerning Viragha, the musician is new to me, too: Sri Lankan band that plays quite an atmospheric Depressive (this is one of the few band that I know from that country). Freosagrath starts the album with “Tears of Desolation”, extremely atmospheric intro with a very melancholy guitar; “And finally, the Death caverns will carry out my soul” follows: this track slightly changes style from the last album, sounding less chaotic. The almost total low-fi is abandoned, the excellent riffs are emphasized: this implies a great rise in the quality of the tracks, also because Lord Mist succeeds in conveying immense emotions with his guitar, increased more and more by melodic-atmospheric parts played with a synthesizer on the background. A good job by Lord Mist. Let’s talk about the two tracks by Viragha: “Adaraneey Adhonawa Pt. II” shows itself as an ambient song with huge atmospheres; the riffs, influences by Doom Metal, are full of pain and hatred, also thanks to the excellent vocal interpretation. The successive and last song, entitled “The Gospel of Despair”, is peculiar: this track is structured on a single riff (influenced by Thy Light) that is played for almost twenty minutes. Yet, we are not hit by boredom or by repetitiveness: a new riff overlaps the first one. This perfectly distorts some parts making them sound more emotive and pleasant. Surely we are not in front of a masterpiece, but, as far as I’m concerned, both Frostagrath and Viragha are already able to produce something more qualitative.
RATING: 7/10
