Quebec,  Canada's  Hak-Ed  Damm  have  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  shows  the  music  going  for  more  of  a  fast  and  aggressive  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2021  album  "Destructio  Purificalis"  which  will  be  released  in  October  by  Black  Market  Metal  Label.

  War  samples  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  while  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  some  angry  growls  and  shouts  also  being  utilized  at  times  and  when  the  music  speeds  up  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  can  be  heard.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  utilized  it  also  gives  the  songs  more  of  a  raw  feeling  while  melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing.  The  music  also  adds  in  a  great  amount  of  90's  influences  but  also  keeps  it  modern  at  the  same  time  and  the  tracks  also  add  in  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

 When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  and  as  the  album  progresses  a  brief  use  of  clean  vocals  can  also be  heard  as  well  as  a  couple  of  the  songs  also  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length  along  with  all  of  the  music  also  sticking  to  a  heavier  direction.  The  production  sounds  very  raw  and  heavy  while  the  lyrics  are  written  in  French  and  cover  war,  death  and  blasphemy  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Hak-Ed  Damm  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  fast  and  aggressive  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Chaos  Planetaire"  "La  Clan  des  Cannibales"  and  "L'Ultime  ogive".  8  out  of  10. - OccultBlackMetalZine
