Hell - Nuumen 9:55 release notes: Two of the heaviest bands on planet Earth join together to create the most continent shattering split in years. Take a moment and think about what truly classifies a band as heavy and who would be the heaviest in your mind from your own perimeters. Does speed make a band heavy? The lyrical approach? The sheer brutality of the instrumentation? All can be great qualifiers. But when it comes to the two bands on this split, heavy is almost second nature. To return to the question of what heavy means, I think of what both of these bands have accomplished in the past and what they both brought to this split. They brought a profound sense of longing for greater happiness until the world pulled the trigger on it all. They bring lyrical themes that are downright soul crushing, but listeners are able to glean a deeper understanding that others are suffering just as much, if not, more than they are. Each project brought some of the most oppressive material they have ever penned and it worked in grand style. That to me is what makes PRIMITIVE MAN, HELL and this split so enjoyable and heavy. The dynamic that suffocation in auditory form can eventually bring enlightenment through shared sorrow. That is heavy.
