Beyond Any Human Conception Of Knowledge
HEXECUTOR return with an even bolder record in their long-awaited second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge. If its no-less-considerable predecessor pushed traditional tropes, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge topples them altogether! Its all recognizably HEXECUTOR - and immediately, charismatically so - but swirling in their cantankerous cauldron of old Slayer, Razor, Destruction, Sepultura, and Merciless is a passion for classic hard rock and heavy metal and coated in the feeling of Bathory's Blood Fire Death and Manowar's Into Glory Ride. Thus, this second strike is a much more EPIC one, all without striving to be "epic" in the pejorative sense. Its all twisted with grace and gnarliness, in equal measure, as one will find filtered traces of Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Blue Oyster Cult, UFO, and even the Eagles as prominently as those of Destroyer 666, Absu, Gospel of the Horns, and Vomitor. HEXECUTOR even touch upon just-as-classic black metal and death metal mainstays as Morbid Angel, Swedens Dawn, and early Necrophobic, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and Satyricon.but again, simply hearing Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is witnessing the bands widescreen yet still-wild ways. Slowing down doesnt mean wimping out, and diversity can be a wondrous thing when handled with care and class. In a word, magickal!
