Hovert is experimental depressive/atmospheric black metal from Russia, founded in 2010. Theme of despair, loneliness and suicide runs through every line of lyrics. Atmospheric and blurred sound carries listener into some cold, open area. Melancholic and sad melodies perfectly convey the mood of songs. A hysterical, harrowing, howl of the vocalist breaks through the wall of sound.
