Hand Of Omega are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of black, sludge, doom and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "The End Of The Beginning" which will be released in September by Cursed Monk Records.
Harsh noises start off the album before going into a heavier direction while elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and shouts along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
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. Elements of thrash metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Growls can also be heard at times along with a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts and harsh noises also make a return as the album progresses, guitar leads can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the environment and society themes.
In my opinion Hand Of Omega are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Survival Of The Shittest" and "Amazon Burning". 8 out of 10.
