Genre/Influences:
Dark-ambient,
death-industrial.
Background/Info:
Self-titled albums often
are the first ones released by a band, but this American project based in
Oakland (USA) has already released multiple productions since 2011.
Content:
The album has been
accomplished with the help from several guests. Demian Johnston, Nathaniel Ritter,
Jim Haynes, Jim Kaiser (RIP), Mackenzie Chami, Venien, Ryan Jobes, James
Martinez, and Patricia Cram contributed to the work. The album takes off
with two harsh and aggressive tracks mixing drones with death-industrial
exponents. Tortured guitar effects and harsh screams are resonating. But the
work also reveals ‘softer’ cuts. The sphere remains hostile and dark, the
vocals became somewhat whispering while the guitar play remains an important
part of the work. The work progressively moves back to harder sonic fields
resulting into a truly kafarnaum.
+ + + :
Sutekh Hexen has created
a proper sound characterized by overwhelming sound blasts and –treatments. The
noisy guitar parts are essential, like injecting a truly sonic cataclysm, which
together with boiling noises and the heavy, possessed screams lead the listener
into angst. I prefer the somewhat ghost-like whispers and the more ‘traditional’
dark-ambient passages.
– – – :
“Sutekh Hexen” is not
exactly the most accessible format in the dark music genre. It’s an extreme
artistic exposure, which personally doesn’t convince me.
Conclusion:
Sutekh Hexen deals with a
kind of perverted- and gore sound format; a genre that will appeal for
‘hardcore’ fans in the genre. You gone like it or not!
