Hadopelaygal are a band form Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Haematophoryktos" which will be released on September 19th by Amor Fati Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixes in with a few death metal growls.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them while some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of dark sounding melodies. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the closing track is very long and epic in length and adds in a brief use of synths.
On this recording Hadopelaygal brings out a very fast and aggressive mixture of war, black and death metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, death and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hadopelatgal and if you are a fan of war, black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Swarthseleniasmos" "Amidst Unending Twilights Unheeded, Bearing Neither Lustre nor name" and "Halios Enthroned In Hyperdiluvina Kataklysmos". 8 out of 10.
