40 minutes of metal, ambient insanity. Celebrating 40 years, cult metallers HexenHammer have delivered their second full-length – the weird, ambitious, and maddening Hyberacula. Divided into four parts, Hyberacula is “a curious tale involving the very real practice of cryogenics... the habitat of Limbo inside a box of quantum time...the relentless patience of Ol' Mr. Death come to call... and the prophetic spectacle of Mankind's latest version of sanity....”
That’s an intriguing concept and HexenHammer does it their own way – hell there isn’t a single chorus to be found! It’s vastly atmospheric with the “metalized” parts coming in and out the picture at various moments. Hyberacula swims in this sci-fi/horror environment that reminds of those radio programs from the ‘40s/’50s like Suspense or The Whistler and fits well with the Halloween season.
The vocals can barely qualify as singing as it is mostly this muffled spoken word passages of the characters and the descent into madness with his shallow existence and also oratory and lecturing, describing the dystopian world of Cydonia (“Part Three”) – similar to Libria from the Christian Bale movie Equilibrium.
