Best of 2011: Heresiarch - Hammer of Intransigence

Propelling old school death metal with a high intensity "war metal" style rhythm track, New Zealand's Heresiarch blast tunnels through the fog of modern confusion with this primal and warlike recording. It purposefully eschews technique in favor of a mood of defiant rage and aggression. Each song stays focused on a rhythmic hook, tying together these inventive riffs into a dark world that makes sense of out all this world denies.
