I must say the Cicatrix did a VERY poor job mastering this! The album "drags" for the entire disc, and gets gradually worse as the cd progresses. So, as far as I'm concerned, you're better off getting a dubbed copy through trading. Okay, on to the review... The first time I heard PERUNWIT was right after hearing LEGION, which was the worst black metal band I'd ever heard at that point (although a new band has shattered the possibility of LEGION reclaiming this "honor"!). I felt I didn't give them a fair chance, so I decided to get some more of their material through trading. Even though the tracks presented on this split are basically the same tracks as the split w/LEGION, these versions are so much better they sound like new songs altogether!!! PERUNWIT plays a very different style of folk/ambient music, which seems mostly based on "clean" guitars, being very original and having a very odd feel (not in a bad way!!) to their music. I guess LORD WIND can be a comparison at times, but they still retain their own sound. KRAINA BEZ WIATRU is more synth-based than PERUNWIT, I personally think KBW is better. The first track is probably my fave, as it sounds different than all the rest. But, I think all the tracks are great...
