Our Take
Our Take
Hulder's debut album, "Verses In Oath," is a bewitching journey through the realms of black metal, folk, and atmospheric ambience. The Norwegian solo artist weaves a spellbinding tapestry of sound that transports listeners to the misty forests of Scandinavia. With haunting vocals that seem to echo from ancient Nordic rituals, Hulder creates an atmosphere that is both primal and ethereal.
The album opens with the menacing "Upon Frigid Winds," a track that sets the tone for what is to come. The tremolo-picked riffs and thunderous drums create a sense of foreboding, as if one is about to face a mythical creature lurking in the shadows. As the album progresses, tracks like "De Dødes Kor" and "Och Vreden Hennes Niding" showcase Hulder's ability to blend raw aggression with moments of delicate beauty.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Eternal Black," a haunting ballad that showcases Hulder's stunning vocal range. The soaring melodies and evocative lyrics paint a picture of despair and longing, drawing the listener deeper into the dark world that Hulder has created.
Overall, "Verses In Oath" is a masterful debut from Hulder, showcasing her talents as a songwriter, musician, and storyteller. Fans of atmospheric black metal and folk music will find much to love in this album, as Hulder takes them on a journey through the hidden depths of the human psyche.
