Hekla are a duo form Poland that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Piesni Konca" which will be released on November 28th by Via Nocturna.
Synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. One song also adds in a brief use of clear singing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody.
Hekla plays a style of black metal that is very raw and old school in the mid 90's European tradition. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Polish and cover the fall of man, the decay of values and the end of everything familiar.
In my opinion Hekla are a very great sounding raw and old school black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Piesni Konca" "Pod ziemia" and "Szil tak jakby zwyciezyli". 8 out of 10.
