Philadelphia psychedelic doombringers Ruby the Hatchet are one of heavy music's finest on-the rise bands. Evoking a decade's worth of maturity†gained in just†a few short years, the genesis from the band's 2011 self-titled EP to present day has been nothing short of stunning. The group's†music fuses the sinister tactic†of brainwash with blistering riffs and the rebellious mood of sorcery, re-imagining a different path for metal. Valley of†the Snake is a six song journey; a fantastical†trek with huge, blistering tracks that journey over peaks and valleys and ditches and oceans before†leaving you spinning. Seething and spitting, Ruby the†Hatchet hammers behemoth waves of dogma and doom, merging precision and patience†with a sinister foot-stomping, head-bobbing power. Vocalist Jillian†Taylor's serpentine vocals, scene stealing howls and macabre lyrics conjure†holistic atmospheres over swollen grooves that grow and flow in circles and waves.†Guitars crunch, wail and burn. Heavy-handed and hypnotic in†equal parts Ruby the Hatchet creates the perfect shape shift between psych density and metal†grandiosity, representing something utterly†imposing; primeval and oppressively heavy while maintaining a level of breathless intensity over the course of the full†album. This hex is for you.
