Hexagraf – Walsen van hoop (digipack CD)

Hexagraf conjures a bleak and suffocating atmosphere on their debut album, which delivers Blackened Doom for fans of Aeternus, Sear Bliss, and Thergothon. Crawling tempos and crushing riffs form the backbone of this record, drenched in orchestral, symphonic keys that heighten the dread.

Gravel-throated, smoke-scarred vocals roar over decaying lungs, delivering lyrics in Dutch that explore the dark underbelly of industry. Monolithic doom passages give way to furious black metal blasts, creating a dynamic yet oppressive soundscape.
