Dec 7, 2015In destroying himself, Chasny has unearthed deeper, simpler fundamentals in his craft and, in doing so, breathed new life into his musical voice. With Hexadic II, Six Organs of Admittance is born again.
-
Dec 7, 2015Despite the complexity of the system that produced Hexadic II, the songs and sounds measure up to the setup itself.

Dec 7, 2015At times the album becomes a little difficult to follow, with the momentum failing during the twists and turns of songs such as the slightly ponderous 'Vile Hell'. However Chasny often manages to claw back interest by adding slight colouring to the stark instrumental palette.

Dec 7, 2015Hexadic II is another fresh turn for Chasny as Six Organs of Admittance. It seems no matter the path he takes, he always covers a lot of ground.
