Today, Finnish black metallers Hollow Woods released its sophomore album, Like Twisted Bones Of Fallen Giants, via Signal Rex. The album is available for listening in the player below.
In many ways, Like Twisted Bones Of Fallen Giants is a natural continuation of Hollow Woods' debut album, Cold Winds Cleave The Earth, from 2021. Familiar elements - pure and proud black metal, done with personality and charisma - are recast in more varied ways. The production across the album is a bit more airy compared to that debut, but still far from overly polished. Likewise, overt aggression is dialled down a bit to make room for more epic passages, where acoustic guitar gives support to powerful clean vocals. As no doubt presaged by the album's title, lyrical themes here deal with nature mysticism, atavism, and specifically slash-and-burn as a metaphor for personal growth unburdened by the past. For the first time, select passages of lyrics are published as cyphers for the song's themes. To usher in Like Twisted Bones Of Fallen Giants, Hollow Woods will be performing at the Howls of Winter Fest in Estonia in February 2024. Link
