HOSTSOL Länge Leve Döden CD 2023

The title translates to Long Live Death, which is exactly the kind of energy you want from a black metal record in 2023, no apologies, no post-irony, just a full commitment to the void.

Höstsol, an international black metal project with Swedish-language roots, lands Länge Leve Döden somewhere in the space between atmospheric melancholy and traditional Scandinavian black metal grimness. It's the kind of album that rewards patience, the kind that sounds better at 2am than it does at noon, layered and bleak in a way that the genre does best when it's not trying to reinvent itself but simply doing what it does with conviction. Fresh out of 2023, this one belongs in the dark aesthetic end of any serious metal collection.
