This is a review of another recording from U.S.A's solo project Hollow Serpent Tooth which shows the music going for a very raw and old form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 ep "V: Make it Dead" which was re-issued in 2026 by Feral Heart Productions.
Synth orientated drones start off the ep before going into a heavier direction while elements of harsh noise are added into the background. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, the synths also add in some atmospheric touches.
The solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and on one of the tracks the music also goes into a slower direction along with some choirs also added on the outro. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover national socialism, accelerationism, isolation, nostalgia, misanthropy and urban decay.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hollow Serpent Tooth and if you are a fan of raw and cold black metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACK "For Praise: Sin's Song". 8 out of 10.
