American progressive thrash/death metal band Haxprocess will unleash their second full-length on July 25th. Titled Beyond What Eyes Can See, the four track album will come out via Transcending Obscurity Records. Indeed, two years after their debut full-length The Caverns of Duat, Haxprocess strikes again!
Haxprocess are playing incredibly heavy death metal music – leaden, thick and dark. Moreover, they are somehow attempting to go progressive wielding that sound. It’s like Morbid Angel covering The Chasm songs under the influence of Blood Incantation. This is but a vague comparison just to get some idea of what this ambitious band is trying to do. It’s death metal through-and-through… Yet, they’re doing so much with it, it would bring a tear to any classic fan of the genre.
They insist on having only epic songs, averaging 10 minutes. Thus, the album has only four songs and it lasts for just as long as a normal album would. The music. however, is relentless in its barrage of gargantuan otherworldly riffs, what with the ever-changing patterns and combinations, albeit delivered in a comfortable pace so that everything can be registered for posterity.
It’s an album that can withstand endless listens, offer everything a death metal fan would want and yet do so much more than an average album would because of their constantly evolving music that manages to remain engrossing as well. This is as epic as a death metal album can possibly get without letting go of any of the heaviness that’s an inherent part of the band’s sound over here.
