Sutekh Hexen

SPB: What was your favorite band in high school? How do they influence your songwriting today?

Sutekh Hexen: One of my favorite bands in high school was Nirvana. The track "Negative Creep" off the Bleach album was so damn heavy AND fast, which at that time was unknown to me. A lot of parts still drift in and out of my memory. It is a great album!

I guess if there were any sort of lasting influence, it would be based more on their early playing and recording techniques. That playing was so raw and shitty. Also, that record sounds awful…But I suppose that's the lasting charm of it.

That and we honestly don't give a flying fuck about what other people want to hear…

Monument Of Decay
Black Horizons / Belaten / Merzbild (2013)

This is the type of release that you might find yourself anxiously waiting for if, one, you are a hopeless nerd for the band (in which case I am) or, two, you find elaborate and unique packaging to be completely in your wheelhouse (double check for me); so Monument Of Decay from Sutekh Hexen is a perfect confluence of these … Read more

Become
King Of Monsters (2013)

Throughout their relatively short tenure, Sutekh Hexen has produced several thought provoking releases that intrigue from both a sonic and an aesthetic perspective; and Become is no different than that description as well as it seemingly marks a turning point for the (at times) shadowy outfit as it is purportedly the first recording to not feature one of the founding … Read more

Larvae
Handmade Birds (2012)

If you have ever heard any Sutekh Hexen release prior to Larvae (and there is a multitude), than there is definitely a surprise in store for you because Larvae is a complete re-imagining of what this outfit has done from their first tape that they unleashed on the world; the mind bending riffing (of the black metal style) and the … Read more
