Hammerfilosfi are an international duo with members from Norway and Italy that plays a very orthodox form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "SOLUS (Igne Natura Renovator Intrega)" which will be released in September by ATMF.
Keyboards start off the ep along with some clean playing and spoken word parts a few seconds later before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are done in more of an angry black metal style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as the songs also adding in both modern and old school influences, clear vocals can also be heard briefly and some of the harsh vocals also add in a few screams.
On this recording Hammerfilosofi brings in a very aggressive, modern and original approach to their orthodox style of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover an inward journey of reflection and contemplation.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hammerfilosofi and if you are a fan of orthodox black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE ":Hunt Or Be Hunted" and "Epigone Of Tragedy". 8 out of 10.
