—Henry David Thoreau

After almost ten years this duo from Argentina returns with their first full-length album. Highly atmospheric Avant-garde Black/Doom Metal for fans of Lychgate, Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega

HELLIGE Camino de Agua CD Digipak is a powerful blend of black, sludge, and doom metal from Argentina. This full-length album features five tracks, including "Las Urnas Basálticas," "Interludio," "Plata," "Hueste," and "Vestigio," for an intense and captivating listening experience.

A lot of bands try to achieve a dark and atmospheric sound who pull you into the depths of riffs, drums and a growling voice. Not many of them achieve that entirely, like one of my favourite Doom albums of all time The Call Of The Wretched Seas by Ahab from 2006 which still is a benchmark for me in this genre. However, with Camino de Agua, Hellige released a solid album which will please keen fans of this genre. This album is packed with its 30 minutes of dark, melodic and sombre music that really drags you into it. Sometimes the songs, especially the 15:29 monster of a song “Las urnas basálticas” show you a variation of playstyles and ideas. A variation of all instruments that sometimes try to play along with each other while it feels like they try to drown the other deeper and deeper in their style of music. The voice and all of the other bandmembers eventually throw you into a maelstrom of hard riffs and drums that feel like liver punches. Hellige’s Camino de Agua is a proper piece of music for everyone who likes the mixture of Black and Doom with a nice nuance of Funeral Doom. Especially “Las urnas basálticas” clearly is the highlight of the album and it is a song for every fan of this genre that I think will find its way on a lot of playlists.

After almost ten years and a handful of ultra-limited tape / CDR releases, this duo from Argentina returns with their first full-length album on CD proper. Highly atmospheric Avant-garde Black / Sludge / Doom Metal with sombre melodies, a touch of the oppressive / depressive, and with dark and raw production. Growling vocals in Spanish cover dark, philosophical and poetic themes that show some inspiration from the writings of Henry David Thoreau. "Then idle Time ran gadding by and left me with Eternity alone". For fans of Lychgate, Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega.
