Philadelphia psychedelic doombringers Ruby the Hatchet are one of heavy music’s finest on-the rise bands. Evoking a decade’s worth of maturitygained in justa few short years, the genesis from the band’s 2011 self-titled EP to present day has been nothing short of stunning. The group’smusic fuses the sinister tacticof brainwash with blistering riffs and the rebellious mood of sorcery, re-imagining a different path for metal. Valley ofthe Snake is a six song journey; a fantasticaltrek with huge, blistering tracks that journey over peaks and valleys and ditches and oceans beforeleaving you spinning. Seething and spitting, Ruby theHatchet hammers behemoth waves of dogma and doom, merging precision and patiencewith a sinister foot-stomping, head-bobbing power. Vocalist JillianTaylor’s serpentine vocals, scene stealing howls and macabre lyrics conjureholistic atmospheres over swollen grooves that grow and flow in circles and waves.Guitars crunch, wail and burn. Heavy-handed and hypnotic inequal parts Ruby the Hatchet creates the perfect shape shift between psych density and metalgrandiosity, representing something utterlyimposing; primeval and oppressively heavy while maintaining a level of breathless intensity over the course of the fullalbum. This hex is for you.
