Ukraine's solo project Hate Forest returns with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw form of pagan black metal and this is a review of his 2025 album "Against All Odds" which will be released on April 25th by Osmose Productions.
A very fast and raw black metal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are done in more of a deep growling style while high pitched screams can also be heard at times and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while most of the tracks also stick to a very fast and primitive direction. All of the songs also avoid the use of any solos or leads along with certain sections of the album also adding in a few seconds of mid tempo sections and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Hate Forest goes for a very fast and raw style of pagan black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Mythology, Mysticism, Nature and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hate Forest and if you are a fan of this solo project, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Werewolves" "Mariupol" and "Courage". 8 out of 10.
