Hope Drone are a band from Australia that plays a very atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2013 demo.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of blast beats being thrown into the music as well as a brief use of percussion, while the noise effects bring elements of drone and noise to the recording as well as a brief use of flutes being utilized on one song, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that utilize some raw and primitive sounding elements as well as some post metal and hardcore influences being thrown into the riffing to create a sound of their own as well as some melodic elements in addition there is a brief use of soft and clean playing, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with some of t he songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Hope Drone are a very great sounding atmospheric, post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Advent" and "Grains". RECOMMENDED BUY.
