The highly anticipated 6th full-length by these Chileans. “Häxan Sabaoth” sees the band fusing clanging angularity with haunting atmospherics, delirious chaos with eerie melodicism, epic narrative with primal crush -essentially, an extrapolation (and intensification) of seemingly polar opposites. And yet, through that same strange magick, the Chileans conjure a tableau that´s undeniably their vastest and most violent to date. Riffs and rhythms pound and mutate with hypnotic ease, breaking down the listener´s will; momentum becomes slipstreaming, with dread sounds bubbling up from every crevasse of this abyss; motifs then flicker with frightening clarity before disintegrating into something equally dread-inducing. For however “pure” and primordial Unaussprechlichen Kulten´s Death Metal is, there´s a newfound grace across “Häxan Sabaoth” -malodorous and miasmic, yes, but it effectively lends an airiness to what´s already an exceptionally dense and dissonant foundation.
