Hexxus play sludge infused post metal, that stays aggressive and moves along sluggishly with anguished torment and despair. Under the thick layer of caked on crusty sludge produced by the heavy combination of detuned bass and guitar are well written beautiful harmonies that remain bleak like the rest of the music. This is a good thing. It's definitely interesting music and not your typical sludge metal fare. There's some really good grooves and riffage going on with this album, and when these dudes heavy, it's massive as fuck. It's like walking through a cloud of dirt with rocks coming at you from all directions. The band pulls you into the mud while being hogtied then dragged through the muck, then plucks you out and beats you slowly with mallets. The vocals on "Tunguska" remain pissed throughout. No clean singing whatsoever, and that's fucking by me. Fuck singing. But really I enjoyed the vocals. Nasty and threatening as fuck. In fact I enjoyed the whole things, which is why I'm writing about it. I mean you should give it a listen as well. Cheers! -Samir
