Normally americana is not exactly my thing - but Dark Watcher did it again: presenting it in the form that I can truly enjoy: black western! The clean(er) guitars always deliver the targeted "spice" (I am a big fan of that), and of course: this riffs! Grab your hat and your revolver, because things will get serious!

Black metal with a western twang is still a sub-genre that's finding its footing, but between
Wayfarer's excellent 2020 release A Romance with Violence and now Dark Watcher's superb
Hymns of a Godless Land, it finally feels like this niche is being fleshed out the way it
should be. What Dark Watcher does - perhaps even better than their contemporaries - is creating a
stirring cinematic feeling to their music that show ascribes to both the prairie gunslinger and
raw black metal components of their music. In theory, these two entities should be in competition
with each other, but thanks to the keen and studied ear of main composer/guitarist Hodag, it feels
like black metal should've started wearing spurs long ago. Though only 3 songs long, Hymns of a
Godless Land proves that Dark Watcher has all the makings of a western classic and I for one
am excited to see what these Stetson-wearing trailblazers will do next.
