International Atmospheric Black Metal band Hyl are releasing their debut EP Where Emptiness is All through Odium Records. It is scheduled to come out in May.
So today, Lachryma Christi brings you a short review for the same.
You can tell from the beginning that these musicians have been making this kind of music for quite some time. Everything is very well written and performed.
As atmospheric as Hyl are, there are a lot of ambience sounds and bits. Starting with the intro but not only the intro, which bring you a very intense and interesting atmosphere. It is very obscure and introspective.
However there is a lot more to it than that. All the songs are very emotional and deep, getting you into a melancholic but at the same time angry mood. It feels good. It can be addictive.
I can't point out a favourite song, because the EP is all so so good.
There is an impressive consistency in the compositions. Even with the abstract and other less abstract sounds in the middle, these songs are as a whole.
There are dark and frozen melodies and riffs accompanied by extremely fast drums, taking you into a complete different journey. It is so good, so frosty and powerful. The vocals are dragged and harsh, and perfect for the music.
So if you are into that kind of atmospheric, melodic, but also intense and furious Black Metal, this might be right up your alley.
