Hädangången are a solo project from Sweden that ha s had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw, atmospheric and nature orientated form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "Tomhet" which will be released in November.
Nature sounds start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the tremolo picking also gives the songs more of a raw feeling when they are utilized. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals also being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric moments as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, a couple of the tracks are also instrumentals and synths can also be heard as the album progresses and adds in a touch of ambient.
On this recording Hädangången remains true to the raw and atmospheric style of black metal that he had introduced on his previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover nature, emptiness and isolation themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Hädangången and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I skuggan av mitt hjärta" and "I ottan är du kommen". 8 out of 10.
