HÄXAN

Ok, we know it's one of those experiments in which an advanced group decides to create a non-existent soundtrack for a movie from 50 years ago or more (well, maybe they invented this macabre experiment themselves).

The reality is that I have never seen the homonymous film from 1921 and it is something that I am not sure I need in my life, since I feel more than satisfied with the majesty of the album created by these Belgians in 1997.

Dark, gloomy, threatening, cinematic, histrionic and intimidating are some of the words that describe the mood of the songs well. Abundant in passages that change each other (as if they were scenes from a movie), the album offers a beautiful experience of unpredictability and amazement every couple of minutes. It is worth highlighting the fact that the music is from 1997 but sounds, at least, 25 years older which I consider a detail of excellent taste on the part of this cult band of the darkest rock in opposition ever made.
