Hrid - Synjemorian Serpent Race


Probably the most annoying thing about music is when a band just disappears. This is the case with the band Hrid, they did two demos and then vanished into the void.

They were (or still are but inactive) a black metal band from Croatia. I can't remember where I got this demo but I've recently decided to give it a listen and I was very positively surprised at how good it is. Sure it's nothing spectacular or ground breaking but it's damn fine black metal. Despite it being just a very short demo the songs are very fleshed out with riffs and good drumming. There's really nothing to complain about it aside from its short length. Even the production is good considering that it's a lo-fi demo. All instruments are audible and dirty enough so that they can pack a punch and not sound monotonous or sterile.

It's a great demo and you should give it a try if you're into black metal. It's a shame bands like this get so little recognition around these parts of the world.

Get.
