Australia's Hope Drone has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric style of post black emtal with elements of sludge metal and noise and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Husk" which was released by Moment Of Collapse Records.
Atmospheric sounding drones and noises start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can be heard while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams that also show an influence of hardcore and elements of post black can be heard at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the slower sections of the songs also showing an influence of sludge metal.
The synths also give the music more of an atmospheric vibe, most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and clean playing can also be heard on the closing track. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover nihilism, loss, suffering and grief themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hope Drone and if you are a fan of atmospheric black and sludge metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Inexorable" and "Dwell". 8 out of 10.
