Album Review: Hang The Bastard - Sex In The Seventh Circle

StarStarStarStarHalf Star

Hang The Bastard are here to bring the evil back to heavy metal. If they don’t usher in the apocalypse first.

Doom metal, sludge, stoner rock — whatever you want to call it — low-to-the-ground, groovy metal has become increasingly popular.

It’s become increasingly difficult for bands to stand out, but Hang The Bastard’s blend of blues-rock, doom and black metal is sure to do just fine. The album is packed with juggernaut riffs and tortured, scorching vocals, with an ebb and flow lost on a lot of newer doom acts. Hang The Bastard are here to bring the evil back to heavy metal. If they don’t usher in the apocalypse first.
