Ukraine's solo project Hate Forest has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw form of pagan black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Innermost" which was released by Osmose Productions.
A very dark, heavy and epic sound starts off the album 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. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing and the vocals are done in a deep growling style.
Black metal screams can also be heard at times while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. A couple of the songs also introduces acoustic guitars onto the recording and throughout the album you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, melodic guitar leads can also be heard briefly.
On this recording hate Forest remains true to the raw style of pagan black metal that he has established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Paganism, Mythology, Mysticism, Nature, Nietzscheism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is ano5ther great sounding recording from hate Forest and if you are a fan of this solo project, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Those Whoe Howl Inside the Snowstorm" and "Solitude In Starry December". 8 out of 10.
