artist: Hexis
title: s/t 7"
label(s): IFB/ more
price: $4
Hexis is from Denmark and plays some seriously heavy and oppressive hardcore/black metal hybrid. It’s just an absolute wall of crushing guitar with almost constant double bass. It’s not at a super fast pace though, so the double bass has this overpowering sense to it rather than just being a blur. The drummer also plays the floor tom as a snare most of the time, so the blasting feels even more low-end. The vocals are ugly throaty filth that bring to mind the UK’s Vuur. This doesn’t sound quite like anything else, but if you like the Bremen-sound German HC bands, or stuff like Acrid, this should be right up your alley. As heavy and ugly as they come.
