Bough Horns are a solo project from Italy that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 demo "As Night Fell".
Epic sounding synths start off the demo before going into more of a darker and heavier musical direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals ar e mostly angry yet high pitched sounding black metal screams.
The songs also mix in a great amount of old school influences while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
The solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of songs and one song also adds in a brief use of melodic chanting. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes.
In my opinion Bough Horns are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "On A Dark Day" and "Borea And The Wolves". 8 out of 10.
