Brotthogg are a band from Norway that plays a melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "Echoes of The Past".
A very fast, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while death metal growls are also utilized at times and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style. The music also mixes in a great amount of thrash metal elements as well as having its progressive moments at times and when guitar leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style and as the album progresses acoustic guitars and synths can also be heard briefly.
Brotthogg plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in melodic black and death metal while also mixing in some progressive and thrash metal elements to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover misanthropy, philosophy and the writings of Dante.
In my opinion Brotthogg are a very great sounding melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Summoning" "The Aftermath" and "Total Death". 8 out of 10.
