This is a review of a 4 way split album between Netherlands's Hellevaerder, Duindwaler, Schavot and Asgrauw called "Verloren Vertellingen" which will be released on october 13, 2023 by Zwaertgevegt and we will start off the review with Hellevaerder a band that plays a very old school form of black metal.
Their side of the split starts out with a very fast and raw sound which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal s creams as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style, growls c and clear singing can also be heard at times. The production sounds very dark and r aw and the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover anxiety, darkness, death, occultism and philosophy themes.
In my opinion Hellevaerder are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Als de nacht wederkeert".
