Hope Drone

Void Lustre

On Void Lustre, Australia's Hope Drone treats fans to a lengthy slab of black metal featuring their own take on the familiar combination of black metal and post metal. Unlike black metal-influenced bands that fully embrace atmospheric post-metal, on Void Lustre, Hope Drone stays closer to black metal orthodoxy, relegating atmospheric and post-metal elements to a supporting role. Its an approach that, subject to some minor criticism, works well, although it may miss the mark for listeners who are seeking a more deeply atmospheric or introspective album.
