Two obscure black/ritual ambient outfits meet up for this split full length, released in a limited edition of 250 copies by the French black/noise label Infernal Kommando. The mysterious French entity known as Aymrev Erkroz Prevre (an alter ego of the slightly more well-known black ambient project Dapnom) starts this off with one half hour long track of abstract lightless dread called "Tiomnye Ogni" that's similar to the cassette releases that I've heard in the past from the band. It opens with a series of metallic rumblings and vibrations, as if you're hearing huge oil containers being slowly scraped and rubbed, emitting vast resonant clouds of metallic thrum while deep subterranean drones and dense gong-like crashes reverberate through the depths, the deep murky black ambience flowing and unfurling over the course of almost thirty minutes, the minimalist soundscape possessed with bits of random percussive banging, like leaking plumbing echoing in a dank dungeon, and slowly building into a host of unearthly sounds, disembodied moaning, creaks and groans, distant wind, icy electronic noise and shards of obfuscated melody, streaks of processed feedback and radio waves, becoming ever more suffocating and dreadful, the sounds of mechanical rumbling becoming more prominent, evoking the sensation of being trapped within a cattle car on a fast descent into the bowels of hell. The sound gets louder and heavier, more layers of metallic scraping and ominous minor key loops beneath massive rumbling drones and clouds of black amp rumble, evil dissonant strings rising up out of the depths, howling subterranean winds and fearsome high-pitched electronic wails, distant funeral organs and, towards the very end, some faint traces of orchestral majesty. It reminds me of Yen Pox, but much more murky and chaotic.

The three tracks from MH LMTH that follow have a comparable black industrial ambient sound, though this occult Russian project achieves this through slightly different means. The three part saga "Ethengixodefar: Jehabda Daqaz Achangka" wanders through strange tomb-cities and graveyard passages, crafting a kind of mystical, filthy death industrial along the lines of bands like Abruptum, Brighter Death Now and Atrax Morgue that shifts between frenzied masses of lunatic voices and demonic roars that swoop through expansive black clouds of reverb and delay, distorted blown-out drones that surge up out of the slime, wafts of crackling electronic noise and snarling heavily processed vokills, roaring synth muck and rumbling tectonic bass, with some massively blown out and in-the-red synthesizers droning on and emulating the swarming buzz of black metal riffs (not surprising, since MH LMTH features members of the Russian black metal bands Ithdabquth Qliphoth, Hammer ov Qliphoth, and Deathmoon, as well as the strange ambient project Cadaver Yelleth at Amber Tower).
