1) Hoth hails from the icy blackness of the void seeking to envelop this world in an unending permafrost by bringing forth musical compositions that are captivating, powerful, and haunting.
Hoth is a Seattle-based black metal or blackened death metal band.
In 2014 the band released a full-length album entitled Oathbreaker, a lauded and acclaimed musical saga that thrust the listener into a melancholy journey of isolation and corruption. Hoth has previously released a full-length in 2012 entitled Infinite Darkness. Before that they released an untitled demo EP.
In June 2018 their latest opus Astral Necromancy was released. This new album was years in the making and demonstrates the efforts Hoth has taken to create a worthy successor to their past works.
2) The first concept of HOTH from Portugal was to combine keyboards and Metal, something vulgar in this era, but not so common in 1988. However, it was not until 1991 that some demos were recorded but never released. Due to the lack of proper recording material and the work with DECAYED, the project rested in a lethargic sleep until 1995 when old songs and new songs were recorded and released as a demo ("Odes To My Black Goddess") by Non Nobis.
A deal was signed for an album that was recorded the next year, but it was never released due to the label going out of business. It was not until 2000, that a new label showed interest and in 2001 the debut album "Rites Of The Black Goddess" got released by Bahamut. Iron Pegazus contacted the band to release an LP version of the album, but so far, nothing has been released...
Oblivion
Hoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
killing, Butcher, demon, earth crusher,
slave to sin, blinded by fury,
enthralled by the black abyss
immortal judgment
Soaring through the stars, slaying the enemies of his dread lord
Screaming agony, harvest souls, like a fell beast from hell
He seals his fate, He fulfills his master's will
decapitating, decimating, a grim envoy of death
eradicate the impure, enter oblivion
Soaring through the stars, slaying the enemies of his dread lord
Screaming agony, harvest souls, like a fell beast from hell
"I cannot turn back, I must not think twice, I must learn the secret, I must have this power, I must
defeat death"
Treachery, passion, absolute ruination
Searching for the answer, all morality is displaced
His mind is enslaved, his soul - disfigured
The darkness warps his grimace into an agonizing smile
Soaring through the stars, slaying the enemies of his dread lord
Screaming agony, harvest souls, like a fell beast from hell
Fire burns in his veins at the twilight of the final nightfall
A shattered soul, broken, now lost for eternity,
screams from within a flesh prison
The ancient ones grin their evil grins,
Vile sorcery, planets imploded,
life extinguished. ghastly shrieking.
Every tree burned.
Every bird dropped dead from the sky
Every lake dried, every creature rotting,
the smell of death rising
Broken fingers dig their masters' graves
endless suffering, charred corpses
spirit of vengeance, his name - anathema
There once was a passion, a love,
a great beauty that all the stars smiled upon
an essence so pure, so noble, so full of hope,
an avatar of wisdom, peace and justice
She stares at him in disbelief, and her heart breaks a thousand times
tears enough to drown all souls of a million worlds,
She cannot understand what he has done for her,
allies lay forsaken, discarded all his vows
The lyrics of Hoth's song Oblivion depict a person who is consumed by darkness and chaos, and who is driven by a need for power and vengeance. The lyrics contain vivid imagery of destruction and death, with the person depicted as a demon-like creature who slays enemies, harvest souls, and enters oblivion. He is portrayed as being completely enslaved by the darkness, with his mind and soul disfigured and warped by it. Despite this, he is driven by a fierce determination to defeat death and gain ultimate power, to the point where all morality is displaced and treachery and ruination are acceptable means to achieve his goals.
The lyrics are a powerful depiction of the consequences of succumbing to darkness and the pursuit of power at all costs. They are a warning against the dangers of becoming consumed by hatred and vengeance, and show the ultimate fate of those who allow themselves to be enslaved by the darkness.
