Album Notes & Community Reviews
Relocating their 'nature mystic' sound into freezing, distinctly metallic territory, the Finnish act Hexvessel incorporates heavy black metal riffing into their psychedelic folk foundation. The record features icy tremolo picking alongside Mat McNerney鈥檚 clean, commanding baritone, resulting in a dark, highly atmospheric occult rock hybrid.
