Two Hunters

This is the second album from the hippies that create black metal, and it is much more Burzum oriented than their debut; however, it’s a refreshing take on the hypnotic black metal.

The album has a lot of ambient passages to create a smooth atmosphere, which all comes together into the rejection of humanity at the current state. The band makes metal which makes the listener feel like he or she is alone in the wilderness yet finds it completely comforting. Although Two Hunters sounds quite depressive because of the guitar work, it has a rather uplifting feeling; moreover, the albums riffs and blasting is so smooth that it soothes your soul into something quite enjoyable, giving you the idea that you can do something about humanity.

The riffing on the album is less epic than Diadem, and uses layers to create its melody, and the drumming of this different than the usual black metal drumming. The riffs are usually doing the same slow tremolo picking, the drumming changes to keep the songs going forward. The vocals are done in the same way as the previous album with clean female vocals and raspy black metal shrieks and growls to accentuate the music.

Two Hunters is a great listen and enjoyable inside the Burzum esque riffing bands; moreover the band puts their own spin on the style, and they do it tastefully.
