"Few things are more exciting to us than unveiling a brand new, entirely unknown band to the elusive world of dissonant extreme Metal.
Kvadrat, Choir or Beyond the Grasp of Light are just some examples of extremely strong debuts that we weren't only honored to be a part of, but which also left a lasting impression on the underground.
Add Hecatoncheir and their debut 'Nightmare Utopia' to that list, because they'll undoubtedly make their mark with their immensely contemporary take on dissonant Death and Black Metal.
The project from Slovakia is a mid tempo juggernaut with an often ominous, entrancing atmosphere. But when you least expect it, a ripper like 'The Crowning Horror' will pull you out of that trance and throw you headfirst into the nightmares Hecatoncheir are summoning on this album.
For fans of: Cosmovore, Owl, Nightmarer"
