Das neu gegründete Unternehmen PESTILENT HEX, das aus dem morschen Boden der finnischen Extreme Metal-Szene auftaucht, läutet am 8. Juli sein Debüt "The Ashen Abhorrence" ein. Die Musiker L. Oathe (alle Instrumente) und M. Malignant (Gesang & Texte), die bereits bekannt sind und von ihren kreativen Outlets DESOLATE SHRINE, ORDINANCE oder CORPSESSED entschieden, dass die Zeit reif war, ihrer Black Metal-Vision eine musikalische Form zu geben.

Die meisterhafte erste Äußerung, die tief aus dem Brunnen des Black Metal der zweiten Welle der 90er Jahre trinkt, ist eine makellos ehrfürchtige Mischung aus symphonischer Nostalgie, moderner Kraft und hinreißender Grimmigkeit in sechs Kapiteln:

Tracklist:
01. Chapter I : "The Ashen Abhorrence"
02. Chapter II : "Nature Of The Spirit"
03. Chapter III : "Mephistophelean Liaison"
04. Chapter IV : Interlude – "Mists Of Oneiros"
05. Chapter V : "Old Hag"
06. Chapter VI : "Banishment"

"The Ashen Abhorrence" wurde zwischen 2017 und 2021 geschrieben und arrangiert. Instrumente aufgenommen im Desolate Dungeon, Gesang aufgenommen im Furnace 5034. Mixing von L. im Desolate Dungeon. H. Sorvali (MOONSORROW, FINNTROLL) kümmerte sich um das Mastering bei Trollhouse Audio.

The band comments on their first album and the beginning of PESTILENT HEX: "It is almost impossible to define what the exact starting point of the band was, as it is rather amorphous – it can however be traced back to conversations, ideas and visions shared several years ago by both band members. As the desire to fulfill these visions grew, first notes for the band were put down somewhere in 2017 even though the concept had been brewing already a few years at this stage. The specific albums that were the catalyst for forming PESTILENT HEX are OBTAINED ENSLAVEMENT's "Witchcraft" (above all!) & "Soulblight" and KVIST's "For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike" as well as the early works from bands such as EMPEROR, ARCTURUS, ABIGOR and many, many more. These are bands from the mid '90s – an important time and era for both of us when discovering music. This is us paying our dues to the sound that formed our musical sensibilities at an early age – but also our own take on the genre of Black Metal we revere and have a burning passion towards, forging our own vision."

PESTILENT HEX premiere the opener, 'Chapter I : "The Ashen Abhorrence"', in collaboration with Black Metal Promotion. The nearly eight-minute-long song combines and intertwines aggressive riffing, blast parts and hellish screams with subtle ambient sounds and powerfully displayed symphonic patterns. Thus, PESTILENT HEX impressively uncover the hidden potential of true symphonic Black Metal, namely the ghastful interplay between eerie grandeur and harsh energy. Check the track below!"
