Hypnos (Czech Republic): Heretic Commando (Einheit
Produktionen)
Hypnos can come across
as cold-steel death metal, but if you just give yourself time to adjust, you
will find a band working to balance intensity with strong songs.
“In Love with Death”
functions on the basis of a midtempo feel of heaviness and a tiny amount of
melody. The little melody works well with gruff death metal. A strong song.
“Burning Again/Hymn of
Eternal Fire” is one of the best songs here. The riffs are good, and a few
semi-melodic licks work with the quality death metal that Hypnos is aiming at.
“Alliance of Snakes/Reptilian Conception,” by comparison, is a short
piece of speed and intensity. An effective song.
“Extremely Dark Days” and “Versus the Void” are tracks that go for
headbanging metal. These are the songs that have a more immediate impact. It’s
practically impossible not to like them!
These are not all the songs on the album, just some examples. A nice
balance of heaviness, speed and songwriting. Good job. Good songs, no weakness.
