The perturbance between two macabre Death/Doom Metal masters is now unified as one on this gloriously funereal split release. From the unsettling but grandiose track opener of Jade, to the rotten mid-paced deathbeat of Sanctuarium on the split EP closer, “The Sempiternal Wound” speaks of the impeccable cycle of Life and Death and serves as a stark reminder of the pain throughout the lifespan of mankind. Total nihilism is evident here with both Jade and Sanctuarium also clearly sharpening their crafts even further, displaying an almost cinematic vibe on their pummeling sections transitioning to slow, crawling passages.
