Hallbar are a band from Poland that plays a melodic mixture of black, death metal and deathcore and this is a review of their self released album "Nemesis" which will be released in 2025.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some death metal growls along with the solos and leads also adding in a lot of melody and clear vocals are also utilized at times.
The mid tempo sections of the songs also bring in elements of deathcore while the faster sections of the album also adds in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era along with some of the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, one song also introduces clean playing and keyboards onto the recording and spoken words can also be heard briefly.
Hallbar plays a melodic form of black metal which they also mix with death metal and deathcore to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mental illness, codependency, perfectionism, patterns of unreflective behavior and loneliness.
In my opinion Hallbar are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black, death metal and deathcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mental Apraxia" "Love/Hate Language" "Voodoo Doll" and "Possibilities". 8 out of 10.
