Hulder are a solo project from Portland, Oregon that plays an old school form of pagan black metal and this is a review of her album "Godslastering Hymns Of A Forlorn Peasantry" which will be released in 2021 by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with the songs also giving the songs more of an atmospheric feeling.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also captures the atmosphere of the classic pagan black metal bands along with a couple of the tracks also introducing folk instruments and classical guitars onto the recording.
A couple of the tracks also being long and epic in length along with the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and when guitar leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic style, as the album progresses clean playing and clear vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Belgian Folklore, Medieval and Torture themes.
In my opinion Hulder are a very great sounding old school pagan black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Creature Of Demonic Majesty" "Lowland Famine" and "From Whence An Ancient Evil Once Regained". 8/5 out of 10.
