Hegemon are a band from France that plays a very aggressive and melodic form of black metal with a symphonic edge and this is a review of their 2021 album "Sidereus Nuncius" which was released by Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions.
A very dark, heavy yet melodic sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also uses a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Symphonic elements are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the music while the vocals are mostly high pitched black emtal screams.
Death metal growls are also added into some sections of the recording while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Spoken word parts can also be heard on a few songs along with the music also adding in both old school and modern influences and the album also has its atmospheric moments, clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard on a couple of tracks and a later song also adds in a brief use of clear vocals.
Hegemon plays a style of black metal that is very dark, aggressive and melodic sounding as well as adding in some symphonic and atmospheric touches to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover philosophical, metaphysical, occultism, shamanism, astral travels, scientific and darkness themes.
In my opinion Hegemen are a very great sounding aggressive and melodic black metal band with some atmospheric and symphonic touches and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shamanic Cosmocrator" "Ascendency Of Astral Chaos" and "Black Hole Womb". 8 out of 10.
