BURIAL HEX - 'Gauze'

CD in digipak.
Barcode: 0641871745821





Horror Electronics and Phantasmagoric Post-Industrial usher in the brand new ritual offering from Burial Hex.

The impulse for Gauze is to be a prophylactic talisman and ward for the families directly involved with the Burial Hex project, though it can be effective for anyone who needs an extra layer of defense. The art, lyrics and sound were all layered together with supersensible content generated specifically for this purpose. Beyond just protection and defense, Gauze is an invitation to transcend sclerotic ways of experiencing incarnation, by freely juxtaposing increasingly divergent forms, and reconciling all with warmth and passion. Such has been the work of the Burial Hex project since its inception, striving towards a gestalt of timeless and enduring realms via a benign spiritual interaction with conflicting beings.

With Gauze we hear the mouths of Burial Hex spit in the face of those who would reduce psychic experience and spiritual feeling to material processes, penetrating the density of human denial and cracking the electronic shell which crushes much of our humanity. CD in digipak.

Reviews:

"There’s a depth to the music of Burial Hex that challenges the listener. It often gives a sense of unique balance... The way it carries us on a journey is effortless. It seems to speak from another place... for me it evokes dread, as in existential, but in a completely sensorial way. The feeling of witnessing a historic moment of unprecedented magnitude unlocking hidden realities that had always been present, unnoticed. The way in which many elements are subtly handled for effect carries throughout the album, always playing with our rational mind... A superb electronic production" (The Sleeping Shaman)

"There is an exciting diversity within the music that I enjoy quite a bit. Rhythm and noise play certainly a significant role in the music of Burial Hex, but its aim is not to play some mindless noise thing, but a rather varied dish of sounds... The fact that some of the instruments shine through here makes it even better... It is an all-around excellent album that made me curious to hear more" (Vital Weekly)

"Acht Vertonungen sind auf "Gauze" verewigt, deren Basis experimentelle Klanglandschaften darbietet, die teils rhythmisch und mit einem überaus eigenen Charakter ausgestattet wurden. Mitunter wird das Ganze auch mit einer guten Portion von dunkler Materie gespeist, wobei besonders "Auspices" ins Ohr sticht. Ein wahrhaft dunkler Klumpen mit einer noch dunkleren Artikulation, der sich hier nach kurzer Zeit zum Paradestück mausert. ... "Gauze" hat ohne Frage seine Momente und mag im richtigen Moment aufgesogen auch durchaus eine gewisse Wirkung erzielen" (Raben Report)
