UMUR "My Death for You on a Night of Cursed Full Moon / Pronimo" is a split release between Bewitched from Chile and F from Finland. The split was released through Warmaster Records in June 1993. Bewitched recorded and mixed their five tracks in 4 hours. They consists of an intro, and outro, and three regular tracks. The three regular tracks are re-recordings of songs which had appeared in demo versions on their 1992 "Nemesis" and "Doomed" demos. F is only represented here with the "Pronimo" track, but it´s a 21 minutes long track, so there´s enough quantity here to warrant a purchase of the split. "Pronimo" was recorded during several studio sessions from February 1993 to March 1993. "Pronimo" is exclusive to this split and does not appear on any other F release (or any release from their pre-F band Funcunt).

It´s an interesting idea to pair two artists like Bewitched and F, as they have very little in common. Usually when you purchase a split you´ll expect that the artists featured on the split have some sort of musical connection, but that´s certainly not the case here. Bewitched deliver a lo-fi blackened doom metal attack, which sounds like a very primitive and not very professional version of early Katatonia. The vocals are doubled with both growling, high pitched screams, and clean vocals. The material features a dark and occult sound, which is pretty much what it has going for it, because the performances are pretty amaturish and the songwriting simple and not very interesting.

The F part of the split is a completely different beast, as the listener is now exposed to over 20 minutes of avantgarde and experimental music. F (and before they changed their name Funcunt) are one of the most odd and experimental acts from the late 80s/early 90s Finnish extreme metal scene, and "Pronimo" is just as crazy and weird as the material which came before it. F produce an incredibly eclectic, ever shifting, and busy avantgarde sound, which features elements from mathcore, fusion, psychedelic music, alien atmospheres, and just a complete disregard of regular song structures. If you enjoyed the 1993 "I-III" debut album from F, you´ll surely appreciate the "Pronimo" track too, as it´s in a similar style.

Upon conclusion "My Death for You on a Night of Cursed Full Moon / Pronimo" is an almost impossible split to evalute as the two artists move in such different directions and the skills and professionalism of the two artists almost couldn´t be further apart. I´ll go with a 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating as a compromise. The Bewitched part of the split is probably around a 2.5 star (50%) rating and the F part is a 4 star (80%) rating, so a compromise is only fair.
