Hebosagil - Ura

This tape here serves as my introduction to the Finnish band Hebosagil. Having been around since 2003 apparently, they’ve already got a few releases under their belt which always makes for an interesting experience for someone like myself who is diving head first into an evolving monster such as Hebosagil. Thankfully they’ve made it a bit easier on me by providing some of their past work for download on their website, if anyone is interested in getting a hold of those. I would certainly recommend it. With that said, Ura happens to be the bands second full-length album and is the follow up to the bands ’08 album Colossal, which I’ve only recently had time to sit down with. The noticeable differences immediately are though that Hebosagil have drastically diverted from some of the full on sludge of their earlier material in favor of rougher/more aggressive style of noisy rock. Not too terribly far from something you might have heard on Hydra Head maybe 8 to 10 years ago. The band keeps the rattling low end around however to still give them a bit of that sludgier sound, but there are also hints of something a bit more claustrophobic/chaotic like an Unsane or even Swedish legends Breach.
