Hexis – Aeternum
Debemur Morti Productions
8,5/10,0
Brief:
Formed 2010 and known for a hard-touring DIY approach which has seen them play over 800 shows to-date, Copenhagen blackened Hardcore road-warriors HEXIS arrive on DMP in fighting form with third full-length “Aeturnum”, the band’s most dynamic, cohesive, cerebral and undoubtedly heaviest record yet.
Almost 3 years in the making, enforced time away from the stage has allowed the band to refocus and redefine their thunderous sound into a truly distinctive beast which merges violent Hardcore, desolate Black Metal, brooding post-Metal and elements of Dark Ambient with the churning ruthlessness of bass-driven Industrial and Grind.
Anchored by an unhinged – but always communicative – vocal performance from band-mastermind Filip Andersen and encompassing a striking lyrical bleakness portraying a nightmarish netherworld of pessimistic disillusion, despondency and hatred, “Aeturnum” is a visceral, emotive and essential voyage through the power found in degradation and decay.

Comments:
Overall, Aeternum is an album that can grab a wider swath of fans than the average extreme metal release. Lovers of black metal, metalcore and even deathcore can all find something to like about it. Blackened hardcore. A brutal and emotional success highly recommended!
