UrukHai - Give Up On God

Review by Astrig Tanguay

UrukHai's latest album, Give Up On God, is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the depths of black metal. The Austrian duo, consisting of Hugin and Gandogar, have crafted a dark and brooding soundscape that is both introspective and intense.

The album opens with "The End of All Things," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its slow and mournful guitar riffs and guttural vocals. The second track, "Give Up On God," is a standout with its driving beat and hypnotic melody. The album continues with "Abyss of Nothingness," a track that features some of the most intense and aggressive vocals on the album.

Throughout the album, UrukHai's use of atmospheric elements creates a sense of despair and hopelessness that is both unsettling and captivating. The guitars are often layered with eerie synthesizers and sound effects, adding to the overall sense of unease.

The album closes with "The Last Journey," a track that is both beautiful and haunting. The slow and mournful guitar melody is accompanied by ethereal vocals and a sense of finality that leaves the listener feeling both satisfied and wanting more.
