Description

Though this is titled II, its actually the debut album for Russias Hisstonend. The oddity of the title doesn’t end there, though. Get this: it’s their third release. Their first demo was entitled I, which is understandable. Then came a second release, simply entitled Demo. After that, we have this album, II. It’s strange, but I guess if you look at it from the standpoint of this being the band’s second release containing new and original material, it works. The two tracks on Demo were re-recorded songs from I. Musically, Hisstonend is very much in the minimalistic Black Metal style that was the hallmark of old Burzum, Xasthur or Judas Iscariot. It’s dark and dissonant, with lots of reverb on the guitars and on the vocals. The reverb-laced guitars give the music some atmosphere, which helps cover up the fact that Hisstonend is beating one or two riffs into the floor in each one of the six songs on this album. This works for the most part, but the dissonance on Whispers Cry is just too harsh. If youre into minimalism and dissonant Black Metal, Hisstonend will give you all that you can handle and more, just try out the closer, In the Depths of Forest Abyss, as its an epic seventeen and a half minutes long track and its hard to sit still during seventeen minutes being brainwashed by the same riff.
