Continuously, death metal is something that astounds and enthralls listeners for what is has been, what it is, and what it can still be. Long have we witnessed this push and pull for the very soul of what the style has to offer with the new blood with new vision always contrasting with the legends that still hold great sway over the sound, and that has made for a spectacular scene that’s dynamic, sprawling in capability, and indicative of what metal has a whole is on a more zoomed-in perspective. Naturally, there tends to be bands that try to stand out in such an environment, yet that is an exceedingly difficult thing to achieve. Where the legends shine brightly, the new can sometimes struggle to find a foothold. Yet, those that do rise and become a real sight. With their second effort, Haxprocess steps up to the plate as just such an act.

To find yourself in the progressive reaches of death metal is to find yourself at the very fringes of what the sound can become when it’s put in the hands of those adventurous few that dare to push the envelope in some form or another. Given such a laundry list of possibilities, the bar is quite high in order for a band to not just do a good job but stand out in such a way that can really capture peoples’ attention. Despite only forming five years ago, it’s in every given moment of their second album, “Beyond What Eyes Can See”, that Haxprocess puts forth a dazzling display of mastery that’s as twisting, complex, organic, and captivating as one could ask for from a name whose rise through the underground can only be deemed as meteoric. Throughout the whole of this dense performance, we are given a truly staggering visage of what it means to be at one with your craft and really make it your own! Not a mere product of its influences to, instead, take the reins and hurl the listener through a winding intergalactic corridor of death, madness, color, and wonder, “Beyond What Eyes Can See” more than lives up to its title. Haxprocess never once leaves anything on the table, nor do they leave you feeling unsatisfied. Whereas it may take other bands a few years to really get a good grip on what they want to pull off, Haxprocess boasts a terrifying level of understanding and mastery that enables “Beyond What Eyes Can See” to become far more than a record that almost gets it right. Rather, this is a performance that hits its mark without fail time after time.

Deadly efficient and simply splendorous in their reach and far more than capable of striving for greatness that can only be found in the space between dying stars, it’s here that Haxprocess makes a compelling bid to be deemed as one of the most fascinating and promising acts in the whole of progressive death metal. “Beyond What Eyes Can See” begs you to take its name literally for in order to really become one with all that this record can be, you must look beyond your physical senses and venture into the writhing ethereal where Haxprocess holds great power through brutal intensity that’s as unforgiving as it is addictive.
