Hallow Serpent Tooth are a solo project from the United States that plays a mixture of raw black metal, power electronics, noise and experimental and this is a review of his 2025 compilation album "Caput Lupinum" which was released by Feral Heart Productions and consists of both of his 2021 ep's.
Percussions, power electronics and harsh noise starts off the compilation along with some aggressive industrial style vocals before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while the vocals also add in a lot of high pitched black metal screams. Clean playing can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, blast beats and raw tremolo picking are also added into the faster sections of the music.
One of the tracks also adds in a brief use of spoken words, synths are also introduced on the second ep along with the music also bringing in more of a lo-fi style as well as the music on both recording s sticking to more of a mid tempo direction. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover national socialism, accelerationism, misanthropy, isolation, nostalgia and urban decay.
In my opinion Hallow Serpent Tooth is a very great sounding mixture of raw black metal, power electronics and harsh noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "For The Lawless: The Rotten Bones Are Trembling" and "For Our Father: All! All! Let me See All". 8 out of 10.
