Norway's Brotthogg have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Ved Veis Ende" which will be released in September.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the album also has its progressive moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, a few songs also brings in more of an angry shouting style of vocals and some tracks also add in a small amount of synths.
On this recording Brotthogg focuses more on a melodic and progressive style of black metal as well as mixing in elements of death and thrash to create a very heavy album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover philosophy, misanthropy and folklore 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 "Fram Kryp Fanden" "Pesta" and "Mare". 8 out of 10.
