Their first track, “Holy Ground” clocks in just over thirteen minutes. Almost like Triptykon but heavier vocals. Throw in some Mournful Congregation instrumentals and you get these guys! Absolutely spaced out to this music, it’s easy to zone out and become one with what Hymn produces.
From beginning to end on their first song, you just feel a build up from the drums, in harmony with the guitar. “Holy Ground”, wraps up and transitions very slowly into “Throne” gracefully. “Throne” is just as sludgy, with loud vocals vibrating throughout your speakers and echoing into your mind. It feels like a spiritual trip that you can’t ignore; your heart feels fulfilled.
Only two songs is not enough, and I am absolutely thrilled to see what else these guys throw at us in the near future!
