Hegemone are a band from Poland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of post black, sludge metal and hardcore and this is a review of their 2022 album "Voyance" which will be released in September.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge metal. Vocals are a mixture of growls and black metal screams along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while some of the vocals also show an influence of hardcore. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with some clear vocals also being utilized at times as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in post metal.
Clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks along with a small amount of synths also being utilized at times. The music also adds some dissonant touches on one of the tracks as well as adding in a small amount of tremolo picking blast beats when the music finally speeds up, folk instruments and electronic frequencies can also b e heard in certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover rage, tension, pain and disquiet themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hegemone and if you are a fan of post black, sludge metal and hardcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nourishment" "Sermon" and "After Demise". 8 out of 10.
