Split Single Review: Malauriu/Sinoath "Scuru/Symphony of the Scythe" (Doomentia Records) by Daniel Ryan

Band: Malauriu
Location: Sicily
Country: Italy
Genre: Italian dark sound
Band: Sinoath
Location: Sicily
Country: Italy
Genre: Black metal
Format: Digital, vinyl (limited to 300 copies)
Label: Doomentia Records (Czech Republic)
Release date: January 20, 2025
Two great and hard to pigeon hole acts from Sicilian backgrounds unite for this sonically driven split ep full of grandeur and determination that will be the foundation for this new generation of blackened doom metal.
Scuru is a fine portrait painted of black metal and its canvas of the doom like kind shows off a spiritual experience only witnessed by the eyes of those who have never experienced the same kind of pain that is a true story behind the lyrics of the track. Very grotesque and beautiful. As for Sinoaths track Symphony of the Scythe this one has a spirit of its own doomy and gloomy self could fester inside castle walls of ages long forgotten. A very raw and doomy message to anyone that listens to it closely. Both songs are very good and goes to show to the listener what both bands are all about. -Daniel Ryan
