the-cool-fox On this split album, Ildjarn (made by Nidhogg) and Hate Forest share their Black Metal music for the person to hear the distinction of Norwegian Black Metal and Ukrainian Black Metal. But the main point I want to bring up is that even though most of Hate Forest’s discography on Osmose Productions’ Bandcamp is sadly gone due to idiotic cancel culture, this split album was spared thankfully as a middle finger gesture towards them. Hopefully someday the rest of HF albums shall return triumphantly. Favorite track: Abyss Wanderer.

jd ))) Those queers that run Bandcamp need to put the rest of Hate Forest albums back up.

Ded AsDisco III Bought this just randomly at a record shop because I was on a big Hate Forest kick and just needed something new. Wasn't disappointed. Low Fi production but doesn't sound like it was recorded on a talk boy and then the tape was eaten buy a dog. Solid riffs, great bass thats pushed in the front with the drums, everything is mixed really well. Overall, it has a real grit and an ambiance with a very aggressive tone that you would expect from either band. Start to finish is the best way to listen. Favorite track: Forest Crypt.

thomasw_ Ildjarn did not write the material; the production changes & use of additional instruments & the style changes, suggest that it was Nidhogg’s work. Hate Forest make a very solid effort here, with production like the Ildjarn-half but carefully adjusted to sound distinctive. Their songs are standard BM that insert complex fills & transitions, & simplified chorus riffs. It achieves a relaxed atmosphere in which the focal point is the interruption, like a sunny sky with an intriguing cloud cluster.

bmurator Danish Black Metal. One more one man, Ole Pedersen Luk, project. This is a very deeply emotional track. When I listen to the normal version, some of the emotions get washed away with the instrumentation - spectacular though it is. Not so here! This is in a sense more powerful than the original with a much more subtle power. The emotions expressed really get overwhelming! I cannot stop listening to it! Extremely highly recommended!!!

kleigher love you guys, I hope I can listen to you live one day!

olomauc Came across this looking for something similar to that Wandering Bird Promo MMXXV and my mind is blown. Incredible, righteous album. No favorite track. They all rock.

karolog The combination of NWOBHM leads and raw black metal is just awesome. Triumphant and uplifting Favorite track: Lands Eternal Taken.

David Fischer Atmospheric black metal from East Frisia, featuring Frisian lyrics and a gorgeous cover artwork. De Doden van't Waterkant ('the dead from the coast') heavily reminds me of Bavarians Vehemenz - not that the music sounds strikingly similar, yet the intensity reaches that same level and is simply outstanding. Friisk obviously know their craft and roots; the musicians have been playing together for years in Friesenblut, and it shows. A phenomenal debut, and a harbinger of the ingenuity to follow! Favorite track: Kein Heiland.

Kahl Mags Das Album läuft seit Release hoch und runter, ich liebs Favorite track: Kein Heiland.

hatbanger_ollie One of the better atmoblack debut EP's of the past 5 years. This promising band definitely deserves more praise and recognition because their recent first full length album also confirms their potential within the genre. Favorite track: Kein Heiland.
