Hellgarden are a band from Chile that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Rise Of The Beast" which will be released in December by Brutal Records.
A very dark and cinematic sounding intro starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the keyboards also give the songs more of a symphonic feeling along with the music also mixing in a great amount of 90's influences.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The vocals also have their deeper moments along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Some tracks also bringing in a small amount of spoken words and melodic vocals along with some classical guitars and clean playing also being utilized briefly and as the album progresses a brief use of operatic female vocals can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Hellgarden are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blackwolf" "When Witches Burn" and "The Lat Dance in The Mist". 8 out of 10.
