Hammerfilosofi are a band from Norway that plays a very orthodox form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "The Desolate one" which will b e released in September by ATMF Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while a couple of tracks also add in a small amount of clean playing. Touches of industrial can also be heard at times along with one song also introducing clear vocals onto the album and when t he music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Angry sounding spoken word parts can also be heard at times along with the faster riffing also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and one track also adds in touches of classical music as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of synths, melodic guitar leads can also be heard briefly towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the path to godhood.
In my opinion Hammerfilosofi are a very great sounding orthodox black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Crossed Bones" and "Abyssal Season". 8 out of 10.
