"Hemerith" is like an amazingly long jam journey through deserted lands of beautiful darkness. The first song 'Faithless Goddess' is a gloomy Stoner Doom experience with a strong impact by oriental sounds. 'Widow of Light' is a bit more psychedelic and melodic, but still takes the listeners to the depths of a hallucinetic rush of Doom Metal and Stoner Rock.
Despite the minimalist line-up, Praÿ create a maximum of tension and atmosphere. Both songs on "Hemerith" are defined by a vast versatility and a hge amount of different themes that merge into each other. Thus, the two-track EP is a fantastic journey through landscapes unkwon to humankind. It feels like, the band is taking us on a flight over a planet that is not the home of our species. Instead, we get to knw the 'Faithless Goddess' and the 'Widow of Light' who show us around in their reality.
What a stunning release!
