Hjemsøkt are a duo from Norway that plays a very misanthropic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Mystikk & Mørke" which will be released in September by Purity Through Fire.
A very fast and r aw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's Norwegian tradition.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths, clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard on some of the tracks along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of clear vocals, the ep also closes with an instrumental.
Hjemsøkt plays a style of black emtal that is very old school and misanthropic and the 90's Norwegian tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover darkness, nature and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion Hjemsøkt are a very great sounding old school and misanthropic black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dans I den visnende skogen" and "Nattestormer". 8 out of 10.
