Hamvak - Maelstrom Of Abhorrent Incantations

Germany’s Hamvak is the result of one man and his aggression. Where as some solo projects seem underdone, Maelstrom Of Abhorrent Incantations is a full-length offering completely formed in all its vitriol and discontent.

They are taking a truly unearthly guitar tone and combining it with a hyperkinetic rhythm style with audible bass. The opener‘’ Arrows Of Vengeance’’ sets the pace and intent with multiple time changes that are frenetic and firmly rooted in a more extreme death metal style that sometimes touches upon grind. The atmospheric elements of Solus are gone as Hamvak evolves (devolves)  into a more earthen, darkened, openly antagonistic maelstrom of energy.

Excellently executed and multi-layered ‘’ Savage Blasphemous Incantation’’ is all about the attack with that almost clangy rhythm section driving the madness. The riffs are furious yet, at times, dissonant, and the vocals are definitely from the school of extreme old-school death metal where guttural hostility is paramount. ’’Storming Abhorrent Forces’’ is more fury. Yet, the closer and the truly chaotic/epic ‘’ The Glorious Return Of Death’’ mixes up the tempos and the rhythms to create a vortex of unescapable inevitability. Pure speed metal and thrash are also thrown into the assault, which is surprising yet audible considering the cavernous the quality of the recording.

Fusing the energy of both black and death metal into something that demands attention and no compromises, multi-instrumentalist ‘’D” has created something special that defies normal conventions. Focused, unrelenting and dense Maelstrom Of Abhorrent Incantations is an album for pure  extreme souls and that is simply excellent and totally unforgiving.
