Hecatoncher are a band from Slovakia that plays a mixture of black, sludge and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Nightmare Utopia" which will be released on December 16th by Violence In The Veins.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast direction which also utilizes a great amount of black metal style tremolo picking and blast b eats. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals also add in some high pitched screams.
Clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks while the slower sections of the songs also add in elements of sludge metal. Death metal growls are also utilized at times along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, noise orientated soundscapes can also be heard briefly and a later song also adds in a brief use of clean playing.
Hecatoncher plays a musical style that takes black, sludge and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dream cults, ancient deities and cosmic horror themes.
In my opinion Hectonicher are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dreamless" and "Madness Of The Stars". 8 out of 10.
