Oskoreien are a duo from Los Angeles, California that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Hollow Fangs".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Dissonant melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the album also having its atmospheric moments, all of the drum beats are programmed and synths can also be heard briefly as well a s some clean playing being added on the closing track.
On this recording Oskoreien goes for a very modern, aggressive and atmospheric form of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Oskereien and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Prismatic Reason" and "To Kiss The Viper's Fang". 8 out of 10.
