Hagl are from Norway and this is their début album. They play Black Metal.
Boasting an album cover that’s creepy, mysterious and threatening, the same can be said of Hagl’s music.
This is Black Metal that’s shrouded in esoteric knowledge and forgotten evils.
Impenetrable vocals that somehow seem excreted rather than vocalised rasp out of the darkness that the music wears like a cloak. Indeed, it creates this darkness and wields it like a weapon.
Atmospheric enhancements and subtle sound additions allow the music to have depth as well as mystery.
Lenket til Livet is somewhat of a cross between Naglfar and Khold, if the former was slowed down and the latter had less groove and more of a Doom vibe.
Enter the world of Hagl and feel the darkness slide across you like a shroud.
