Sutekh Hexen presents ‘Primeval’ album in a limited CD edition
Sutekh Hexen
Out via Cyclic Law on January 24, but already in pre-order now, is the all new album from Sutekh Hexen. The Bay Area-based project has been conducting experimental black metal deconstructionism for over 14 years, occasionally collaborating with other musicians. Initially (and anonymously) Sutekh Hexen released three limited demo tapes offering atmospheric black metal with noise electronics, dark ambient and the odd vocals.
The release was recorded on location on the west coast in California and Oregon, in New England, in Berlin, and in the French Pyrenees.
“Primeval” holds 8 tracks and has been created utilizing arrangements of exclusively acoustic instrumentation and other non-electric methods of sound generation via: acoustic strings (guitars, viola, violin), percussion (metal, stone, wooden objects, timpani), wind: (pipe organ and open-air orations).
The album is co-released with Breath Sun Bone Blood and will come in a CD Edition of 300 copies in an oversized A5 6 panel Sleeve, Spot UV and Matte varnish. The album is also available as a download. Read the review of ‘Primeval’.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
