Ivory Stone/Hof
[ Vinyl / 12" Album Coloured Vinyl ]

Ah, the split vinyl record - a true testament to the harmonious (or not so harmonious) collaboration between two artists. In this case, we have Icelandic black metal bands Sinmara and Misthyrming teaming up for what can only be described as a sonic assault on the senses.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, it's clear that this is not for the faint of heart. Sinmara kicks things off with their track "Ivory Stone," a relentless barrage of blast beats, screeching vocals, and atmospheric tremolo picking that is guaranteed to leave you questioning your sanity.

Not to be outdone, Misthyrming’s contribution, "Hof," takes things to a whole new level of brutality. With its crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and guttural screams, this track feels like being dragged through the fiery pits of hell - in the best possible way, of course.

The smoke vinyl adds an extra layer of atmosphere to the overall experience, creating a sense of foreboding that lingers long after the music has stopped. It's a truly immersive listening experience that will transport you to the icy landscapes of Iceland and leave you feeling both exhilarated and slightly terrified.

In conclusion, the Sinmara/Misthyrming split vinyl is a must-have for any discerning black metal fan. Just make sure to keep the lights on while you listen - you never know what horrors might be lurking in the shadows.
