Brazil's solo project Hate Gods has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw and depressive form of black metal with elements of ambient and medieval folk music and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Face Inocente".
Ambient style synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Samples can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the faster sections of the tracks also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also instrumentals along with the music also adding in elements of medieval folk music at times and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very raw yet melodic style when they are utilized as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of melodic vocals and chants, at times the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the corruption of the Catholic Church and the Inquisition during the Middle Ages.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Hate Gods and if you are a f an of raw and depressive black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dias de trevas" "Guerra Santa" "Maaleus Maleficarum: Incubus" and "Zona de Morte". 8 out of 10.
