By now, I am positive readers know I really like when a non-metal band is sneakily steel. I encountered Pure Hex at a neighborhood present just lately and whereas shoegaze at their core, I could not assist however discover fast blastbeats, moments to headbang, and simple riffs. They launched half certainly one of this album (or relatively the primary of two EPs? no matter) Spilling final yr, and that is the companion piece. Would pair properly with Cloakroom or latest Deafheaven.
