HUNTER'S
GROUND
'No God But The
Wild'
(Broken Limbs
Recordings)
First
full-length album for the Virginia's, USA, trio, which continues the
impressive work of the EP 'Estrous'. The album was recorded in
the woods of Appalachia, using generator-powered equipment and the
outcome is impressive: amazing understandable vocals varying from low
and at the same time full of power and emotion growls to screams full
of despair and anger, blistering and repetitive drums and catchy
riffs are the characteristics of this album, which expresses the
alienation of the human beings from Mother Earth due to the current
way of life. All songs constitute a paradigm of pure and authentic
black metal, incorporating some atmospheric elements, as in the last
song of the album ‘The Fireless Winter’. The dark atmosphere is
pervasive throughout the whole album and especially in the song ‘And
Fed Their Flesh to the Vultures’, which could be easily the
soundtrack of the album. The raw black metal characteristics are
mixed with more slow, doom vocals and guitars in the title track,
while the surprise of the album is the instrumental ‘Speaking in
the Tongues of Trees’. The almost ritual vocals are combined with a
low pace trembling guitar and the song ends up with the sound of
falling rain, bringing images of Buddhist meditation music. Maybe
this track is what characterizes the overall different style of
Hunter’s Ground from a common black metal band.
