Brazil's solo project Hate Gods has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 album "A Morte é Amiga".
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while clear singing can also be heard briefly while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim yet depressive sounding black metal screams. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized, one song also introduces clean playing onto the album and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling and an instrumental can also be heard towards the end.
On this recording Hate Gods takes his music into more of an atmospheric and depressive black metal direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Portuguese and cover pain, sadness, melancholy and depression themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Hate Gods and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Marca da Morte" "Lamento" "A Face da Morte" and "A Hora da Morte". 8 out of 10.
