At any given moment, there are throngs of bands out there that are looking to climb the ranks of the underground in such a way that only they are capable of. For some, it’s a steady pace that might see a release every few years. For others, however, it’s a fast-paced hurdle that sees musicians moving fast as if to not let their creative fire fade over time and, thus, absolutely pump out releases. Bands like Haxprocess are few and far between, but it’s with creations like this that we see the foolishly quick separately from calculated precision.
It was just last year that Haxprocess came to us with their second album which itself was released barely two years after their first. Already, Haxprocess made itself known as a band that didn’t sit in one place for long with their expansive brand of progressive death metal reflecting that brilliantly. If it was last year that saw Haxprocess stretch their legs with “Beyond What Eyes Can See”, then it is with a fiery arsenal that’s as intense as it is intelligent that “Endlessly Flowing Cascades of Grief” sees the raw genius of Haxprocess tempered and focused in such a way that is damn near jaw-dropping. Progressive death metal has always been a fickle and tricky genre for obvious reasons, but there are always a few acts out there that deliver it seemingly without breaking a sweat with these five magnificent tracks more than demonstrating Haxprocess as such an entity. Without even taking into consideration the awesome and impressive 21-minute finale track, it’s throughout the entirety of “Endlessly Flowing Cascades of Grief” that we can see just how much Haxprocess has evolved in relatively no time at all. Every element flows beautifully into the next with the entire record never once sacrificing any moment of beauty, majesty, intensity, or brutality for anything else to allow each of these pieces to become what they were meant to be: a devastating tapestry of uncompromisingly progressive death metal.
This is almost certainly one of the last great stops for the genre for the year before it comes to a close, if not the last stop all together. The rise of Haxprocess has been undeniable from top to bottom virtually without exception, but it is here throughout all of “Endlessly Flowing Cascades of Grief” that we see just how far this act has come. Embodying only the finest aspects of the sound and surpassing both themselves and their contemporaries, Haxprocess has achieved certifiable greatness.
