Reviews

HEX - BEHOLD THE UNLIGHTED
This three-song 20 minutes’ long EP starts off with a Classical piano segment that kicks off As Darkness Descend Upon You. At over seven minutes the song moves slowly in the style of doomy death metal songs of the 90s. The sound and riffing convey some Bolt Thrower. The influence of the English band on the quintet is clear. The growling is accompanied by a few screamed verses that add a more doom-like feel to the song. The shorter Impending Doom Towards Darkness immediately confirms the Bolt Thrower inspiration. The pace and tone of the riffs take a small step towards Obituary as well but overall this is darker and deeper. The third and longest song is ...and Thus Spoke Darkness ups the tempo somewhat for around two minutes but then takes a step into slower or progressive sounds before reverting back to the same sound. Later in the song the band again step back and create haunting sounds with a bit of acoustic guitars thrown in. The band has produced a music video for this latter song. A self-proclaimed doom death sound is executed well on Behold The Unlighted, head to the darkness at https://hexandhell.bandcamp.com/ - Anna Tergel
