Heresiarch/Hammer Of Intransigence/Dark Descent Records/2011 CD Review

  Heresiarch are a band from New Zealand that plays a very bestial form of black/death/war metal and this is a review of their 2011 album "Hammer Of Instransigence" which was released by Dark Descent Records.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of blast beats being thrown in, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine the most brutal elements of death metal, bestial black metal and war metal, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very raw and primitive sounding war metal guitar solos and leads.


Vocals are a mixture of deep death metal growls and high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics cover war and hateful themes, as for the production it brings a very raw, primitive, powerful and heavy sound to the music.

In my opinion Heresiarch are a very good raw and primitive sounding bestial black/war/death metal and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Carnivore" and "Conflagration". RECOMMENDED BUY.
