"Ode au Desert :: :: Suspendu" is the band's third album, and contains eight :: :: tracks. "Fragment d'ehter" leads off the album, with hushed :: :: opening guitars and a solemn feeling. It picks up when the :: :: vile Black Metal vocals come in, and then a key change leads :: :: the way. The meter shifts suggest some expert musicianship :: :: here. "Oracle atone" is over eight minutes in length. :: :: Although the vocals are features prominently, the guitars :: :: provide much of the direction of the sound. When the drums :: :: go double time, the chaos picks up a bit. The song shifts :: :: several times along the way, really showcasing the talent :: :: they band has as a collective. :: :: :: :: "Ou les marees poudroient" is a rousing and energetic number :: :: from the start. The guitars again maintain a strong presence :: :: along with the raging vocal wails. It takes a right turn :: :: just before the half-way mark, and a new riff charges ahead. :: :: It also takes an ambient pause just after the half-way mark, :: :: with doleful and solemn guitars leading the way. "Qu'une :: :: main strie la nuit" opens with some solemn clean guitars and :: :: a downtrodden and melancholy feeling. The vocals are gut- :: :: wrenching, as the slow pace really allows you to soak in all :: :: the despair. It picks up a bit after the half-way mark but :: :: remains a piece about utter desolation. :: :: :: :: "Sous l'arche diamantine" opens with rolling drums and a :: :: wall of guitars, and with a darker, more menacing edge. It :: :: changes key at one point, but stays menacing throughout. :: :: "Pervigilium Mortis" opens with soft and soothing clean :: :: guitars that lead to distorted ones pretty quickly. The pace :: :: is hastened and then that wall of sound hits hard. The :: :: vocals are absolutely raging. It eventually settles into a :: :: groove, with the guitar melody leading the way. It finishes :: :: with a strong crescendo of lead guitars and then a clean :: :: guitar fade-out. "Et je penserai l'aube" leads the charge :: :: with thick guitars and a solemn but hopeful feeling that is :: :: quickly dashed when the vocals come into play. An alluring :: :: moment leads to a sorrowful ending. They really nail some :: :: nice emotions in this song. :: :: :: :: "Ode au Desert Suspendu" closes the album; just over three :: :: minutes in length. It opens with some light simulated :: :: strings and begins to build an ominous sound. A lot of :: :: thought obviously went into this wondrous composition; it :: :: really caps an excellent album quite nicely. Overall, I love :: :: the chances they took on the album. It is still very much :: :: steeped in the traditions of the genre, especially :: :: considering the vocals, but branches out and explores a bit. :: :: I love that HECATE is not afraid of experimenting a bit. :: :: Each song has a distinct feeling, and their strong sense of :: :: composition comes though richly. :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2020 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
