21 minutes of darkened bliss is what you will encounter when you allow Burial Hex’s last/new album In Psychic defense, out now via Sound Of Cobra, into your universe. This record is a labyrinth of sonic caves, leading you into ancient rooms filled with your forgotten thoughts. Every four minutes, Burial Hex opens up a different audio vortex for the listener to travel into, and before you realize it, your whole being has been taken over by In Psychic defense. The first five minutes is my new favorite post punk song, but then silent, small sounds take over. What was once tiny is now growing slowly, with the shadows of the afterlife lurking in your ear, but it’s the light from the piano that will be your guide. 7 minutes later, I hear a loud heartbeat that seems to be calling me, and then a huge, monster voice makes its presence known. Both of these entities are being seduced by the cryptic melody that is the balance to their insanity. It’s the words of the ghosts that are walking around the eerie backdrop that really draw you into this bleak world Burial Hex has created. The last four minutes of In Psychic defense, all of the skeletons get their groove on, because Burial Hex breaks it all down into a place where dancing is a path that reconnects us with Nature. I guess you could say that this album is a trip, but whatever you want to call it, Burial Hex is going out on a HIGH!
