Hexecutor are a band from France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, thrash and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2025 album ",,,Where Spirits Withers in The Flesh Constraint" which was released by Dying Victims Productions.
The sounds of torture start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the solos and leads are done in more of an 80's extreme metal style. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and tremolo picking is also added into the faster riffing.
Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the vocals are mostly first wave style black metal screams. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
At times the music also mixes in influences of traditional metal in both the riffs and leads along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as the whole album also sticking a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover Witches, Darkness and Anti Religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hexecutor and if you are a fan of black, thrash and heavy metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowlwdge" "Paol Goz" and "Marion Tromel". 8 out of 10.
