Pestilent Black Metal exclusively.
The dark, haunting, archaic atmosphere of this matches the album cover perfectly.

True to form for black metal emanating from the vastness of Russia, Hymnr’s debut follows in the footsteps of Forest, Walknut, and a considerable dose of Ukraine’s Hate Forest. The key to this style is the layering and texture of the guitars. As long as the aesthetic foundation embodies a cold and immersive atmosphere the actual compositions can get away with a degree of simplicity. ‘Far Beyond Insanity’ does embody a more pronounced melodic than is usual for this minimal style however, with the interchange between simple scale runs and hanging chords set beneath galloping drum patterns going a long way to imbue each track with a sense of forward motion and activity.
