Oerheks - Cagghenvinna 12"

"Deep in the heart of the Flemish Hageland, a spirit awakens and recalls stories of ancient times past. This spirit is the OERHEKS, roaming among ancient woods long disappeared. Thick melodies and a raging voice carry the listener to times beyond, times past and times undone.
As mid-tempo drums give rise to the sub melodies of the bass guitar, and synth atmospheres build up a tightening aura around the already multi-layered guitar melodies, one can realize that a raw sound and a clean production can go hand in hand. It’s this contradiction that feeds ‘CAGGHENVINNA’, as OERHEKS showcases a musical landscape through the eyes of local myths and lore. Once again, this release feels like a journey, both conceptually and musically. The first sounds of OERHEKS form a clear statement of classic black metal melodicism and eerie dissonance, while stubbornly walking its own path."
