Hexerei - Realms.... [CD]

The second full-length hexation from Finnish terrorizing black metal coven Hexerei: forty minutes of the band's staple assault on the psyche vomited from beyond the shreds of sanity. Five new abysmal, wretched curses of venom-soaked aural pestilence conceived as a gateway to absolute bedlam. On their new vomit of creation titled "Realms.....", the deranged Finnish cult explores even more outer dimensions of terror and insanity, scouring the depths of delirium to uncover a cryptic primordial essence of complete world inversion. This second full-length disfigurement cements Hexerei's profile as absolutists of the unutterable, and sees the Finnish scourge distance themselves even further from any concept of musicality, forcing upon the listener a berserk strain of virulent antimusic rarely observed at a such a crippled and primeval state. An intentionally destroyed audio quality and a completely regressive approach to the canonical decencies of songwriting and recording exalt a sonic delirium of complete inhumanity that redefines the concept of "raw black metal" entirely, reconsigning it to its ancestral and legitimate origin as vector for boundless violence and absolute evil. The ancestral path paved by Cultes Des Ghoules, Katharsis, Armagedda, Vorum and Concrete Winds thus finds new instigators to the propagation of occult and grotesque audio as terror, and "Realms....." stands grandiose and inscrutable in its defiant goal of returning this particular strain of necrotic extreme music back to a certain dimension of absolute malignancy where it was birthed and belongs.
