HellLight are a band from Brazil that plays funeral doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "Journey Through Endless Storms" which was released by Solitude Productions.
Thunder and rain sounds start off the album along with some female vocals a few seconds later and when keyboards are brought onto the recording they give the songs more of a symphonic feeling while the riffs are in a very heavy and melodic funeral doom metal direction and the vocals are in a very guttural death metal direction.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are in a very dark, depressive and melodic musical direction and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and some of the songs also bring in a small amount of clean singing male vocals and one of the later tracks also brings in a brief use of soft guitar playing and as the album progresses whispers can be heard in certain sections of the recording and the whole album also sticks to a very dark and slow musical direction.
HellLight plays a style of funeral doom/death metal that is very melodic, epic, heavy, dark and atmospheric sounding, the production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover sorrow, loneliness, death and Paganism themes.
In my opinion HellLight are a very great sounding funeral doom/death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Journey Through Endless Storm" "Time" and "Shapeless Forms Of Emptiness". 8 out of 10.
