:: ::
:: Born in 2009, HECATE is a French Black Metal band from Tours ::
:: (France), with a bunch of dark and epic influences from the ::
:: metal scene and, more classical stuff. "Ode au Desert ::
:: Suspendu" is the band's third album, and contains eight ::
:: tracks. "Fragment d'ehter" leads off the album, with hushed ::
:: opening guitars and a solemn feeling. It picks up when the ::
:: vile Black Metal vocals come in, and then a key change leads ::
:: the way. The meter shifts suggest some expert musicianship ::
:: here. "Oracle atone" is over eight minutes in length. ::
:: Although the vocals are features prominently, the guitars ::
:: provide much of the direction of the sound. When the drums ::
:: go double time, the chaos picks up a bit. The song shifts ::
:: several times along the way, really showcasing the talent ::
:: they band has as a collective. ::
:: ::
:: "Ou les marees poudroient" is a rousing and energetic number ::
:: from the start. The guitars again maintain a strong presence ::
:: along with the raging vocal wails. It takes a right turn ::
:: just before the half-way mark, and a new riff charges ahead. ::
:: It also takes an ambient pause just after the half-way mark, ::
:: with doleful and solemn guitars leading the way. "Qu'une ::
:: main strie la nuit" opens with some solemn clean guitars and ::
:: a downtrodden and melancholy feeling. The vocals are gut- ::
:: wrenching, as the slow pace really allows you to soak in all ::
:: the despair. It picks up a bit after the half-way mark but ::
:: remains a piece about utter desolation. ::
:: ::
:: "Sous l'arche diamantine" opens with rolling drums and a ::
:: wall of guitars, and with a darker, more menacing edge. It ::
:: changes key at one point, but stays menacing throughout. ::
:: "Pervigilium Mortis" opens with soft and soothing clean ::
:: guitars that lead to distorted ones pretty quickly. The pace ::
:: is hastened and then that wall of sound hits hard. The ::
:: vocals are absolutely raging. It eventually settles into a ::
:: groove, with the guitar melody leading the way. It finishes ::
:: with a strong crescendo of lead guitars and then a clean ::
:: guitar fade-out. "Et je penserai l'aube" leads the charge ::
:: with thick guitars and a solemn but hopeful feeling that is ::
:: quickly dashed when the vocals come into play. An alluring ::
:: moment leads to a sorrowful ending. They really nail some ::
:: nice emotions in this song. ::
:: ::
:: "Ode au Desert Suspendu" closes the album; just over three ::
:: minutes in length. It opens with some light simulated ::
:: strings and begins to build an ominous sound. A lot of ::
:: thought obviously went into this wondrous composition; it ::
:: really caps an excellent album quite nicely. Overall, I love ::
:: the chances they took on the album. It is still very much ::
:: steeped in the traditions of the genre, especially ::
:: considering the vocals, but branches out and explores a bit. ::
:: I love that HECATE is not afraid of experimenting a bit. ::
:: Each song has a distinct feeling, and their strong sense of ::
:: composition comes though richly. ::
