“Humut Tabal play frigid Black Metal with dark melodies lashing out from every angle. The riffs are catchy and purposeful and the songs are driven by a sense of urgency and grandeur.” – Wonderbox Metal  

HUMUT TABAL plays a style of black metal heavily influenced (but not exclusively) by the Scandinavian black metal groups of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, such AS EMPEROR, MAYHEM, SATYRICON, and DISSECTION, as well as by the improvisational, serial and aleatoric approaches of other musicians of the jazz, classical and progressive styles. These include but are not limited to: JOHN COLTRANE, MILES DAVIS, KENNY CLARKE, BRUBECK, STOCKHAUSEN, BELLA BARTOK, SCHOENBERG, PALESTRINA, BRAHMS, PHILLIP GLASS, WAGNER, IGOR STRAVINSKY, BILL EVANS, TYNER, MEDESKI, MARTIN & WOOD, TONY WILLIAMS LIFETIME, FRANK ZAPPA, and the GRATEFUL DEAD, among others. These influences bring a more technical, spatial, experimental and improvisational approach to HUMUT TABAL’s black metal base.

HUMUT TABAL employs Chaos and Order freely: Counterpoint and Aleatoric devices coexist in the Unity of the Way of Sound.
