Years Under Glass

I like the stylistic dialogue between this and Yamadori, which appear to me as an expansive study on contrasts, while Years Under Glass is like a subtle, nuanced etching examining harmony and balance, denser and more spiritually distinctive, and the album artwork captures that aptly. It's amazing how it plays with genre tropes, with an amount of this spontaneous, intuitive dynamics and rhythmic power most of the bands don't possess. Thank you for your art guys! Much love from Ukraine :)

Think I've just found my new favourite band! Really digs deep and connects with an ancient otherworldly vibe. They have obviously put a lot of effort into this. Takes some unusual turns, but is heavy as f*** throughout. Like Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve, but properly wiggable.

Hashshashin's music is a bold fusion of sound and style, excitingly blending power with finesse to create sounds from another world. Urgent compositions possessing thunderous speed are swiftly countered by moody passages where darkness lies – each track attracts with unique attributes.
