Hogstul are a solo project from Norway that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Ominous Fragmenta Tuptdair" which will be released on February 12th.
A very fast and symphonic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also add in a great amount of orchestra structures. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some choirs also being added into some parts of the recording and the music also brings in a great amount of 90's Nordic influence but keeps it modern at the same time.
Operatic female vocals can also be heard briefly along with the music also having its cinematic moments. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as some growls also being utilized at times, all of the drum beats are also programmed. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Hogstul are a very great sounding symphonic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Tomb". 8 out of 10.
