Hoofmark 'Blood Red Lullabies'

Hoofmark's 'Blood Red Lullabies' defies black metal conventions by fusing elements of country, blues, and folk into its atmospheric core. Featuring harmonica, accordion, and clean vocals, the album alternates between raw intensity and delicate introspection. Tracks like “Folktales of the Archdemon” and the 10-minute epic “Azuis & Vermelhidão” offer a compelling emotional journey, blending parched melodies with moments of dissonance and ragged momentum.

The record’s 39-minute runtime feels organic and inspired, weaving together sonic landscapes that are both unique and rooted in place and time. While the album zigzags between relaxed and oppressive moods, its thoughtful layering and unconventional approach invite listeners to explore its depth, rewarding patience with a captivating and transformative experience. 'Blood Red Lullabies' is a bold, genre-defying statement from Hoofmark.
