Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
The split’s stark rawness and two-band handoff give it a distinct underground character, while the rudimentary writing and presentation limit its reach beyond that setting.
What we noticed
- The first eight tracks form Vlad Tepes’s half; track nine begins Belkètre’s, so the album changes band rather than developing one continuous song sequence.
- The recording is deliberately raw and narrow in sound, with distorted guitars and rough vocals kept close together rather than separated into polished layers.
- The brief, bluntly titled tracks favor repeated riff figures and abrupt transitions over extended instrumental passages.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
