Review
Sludge/Stoner Metallers Hexjakt return with their latest single Monolith from their upcoming new album and follows a similar sound captured on their acclaimed self-titled EP that was released earlier this year. This one has a heavier tone compared to their debut release with Hexjakt adding a massive Psychedelic and Cosmic sound to their music. Monolith taps right into the legendary Swedish Sludge/Stoner Metal underground scene that touches upon grooves played by the likes of CONAN, MONOLORD and HIGH ON FIRE
There are flashes of NOLA and SOUTHERN METAL sounds that build within the later stages of the song and that thrilling COSMIC energy develops into a sense of DOOMED OUT paranoia where the music becomes slightly down-tuned and distorted along the way. Monolith lasts over six minutes but Hexjakt never outstays their welcome with great vocals selling the whole superb creative vision throughout.
The production values have improved greatly since their debut EP with Hexjakt aiming for bigger and better things and Monolith is the first sign that their upcoming debut album could be the start of something special for them. Until then, Monolith is a great way to spend six minutes of your life and be treated to some outstanding Sludge/Stoner Metal sounds that leave you wanting to hear more!!!
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
