Not trying to be a nitpicky asshole but shouldn't this be a compilation instead of a split?
From bandcamp:
"Compilation featuring Crepusculo Negro recording artists Volahn, Shataan, Arizmenda, Kallathon."

Also, Shataan sounds interesting, hoping for an EP or full-length soon.

One could technically it a four way split. Nothing weirde about that.

On the Powers of the Sphinx is also considered a four way split with Nihil Nocturne, Nightbringer, Saturnalia Temple, and Aluk Todolo featured on it.

For example Crushing The Holy Trinity is also considered a split. A six way split covering three cd's

I know splits can have more than 2 bands, it's just that it's called a compilation on the label's bandcamp page, that's all.

aha, I didn't know that. Then it would, indeed, be a compilation and not a split.

Compilation still doesn't make much sense in this context. What is this a compilation of? Aren't compilations simply collections of previously recorded music?

Personally, I think the argument is whether this should be a VA or a split EP.

Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't. They can be collections of new music, by different bands, as well.

VA of course stands for Various Artists and denotes that the release is a compilation.

That Volahn track, oh my so good. Shataan needs some help on his vocals

Yeah the Volahn track is amazing. Not a huge fan of the rest of the compilation (Arizmenda's track felt a bit weak compared to what I know he's capable of), but the cover is fantastic.

I dunno, that Arizmenda track is all kinds of smegging epic. Rivals Volahn's track I would say.

This whole thing should be a soundtrack to some kind of trippy, futuristic Western film, probably directed by John Waters or something.

The Arizmenda track is pretty weak. As of now, the Volahn track is the only one I'm playing.

I'm not getting the hating either. I thinkit's a great track as well. All bands are solid if you ask me. Also... I vote for either Johan Waters or Alejandro Jodorowsky for that specially due to the later's El Topo.

Indeed, nothing here is less than good; all very enjoyable tracks.

Ah yeah, El Topo, that was lurking in that back of my mind when thinking about odd westerns. Thanks for bringing it to the surface!

So this compilation is pretty awesome, yeah

Beautiful, mentally esctatic journey for what is now sadly another bygone relic.
