Norway's Brotthogg have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Epicinium" which will b e released in October.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody. Death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and black metal screams can also be heard at times.
Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths can also be heard at times along with the music also adding in a great amount of thrash metal elements as well as the music also having its progressive moments, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and angry shouts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
On this reocrding Brotthogg takes their melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal into more of a progressive direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover misanthropic and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Brotthogg and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "When The Curtain Falls" "Ravn" and "Possessed". 8 out of 10.
