"Although they’ve only been active since 2010, San Francisco’s SUTEKH HEXEN has already managed to produce a sizable back catalog of releases that exist in a nebulous gray area between black metal, noise, and dark ambient.
The band’s newest effort, Behind The Throne, is their most skillful yet, with their unholy sonic maelstrom accented by subtle textural elements and understated melodic components. This in no way represents a watering-down of their distinct vision however, and the resulting release is an unsettling journey along tonality’s periphery.
By honing their distinct aesthetic, SUTEKH HEXEN‘s newest release has displayed the band’s ability to create a richly rewarding listening experience for any listener brave enough to embrace the discordance."

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
The stygian duo explore themes of gender dysphoria and oppressive institutions through sludgy doom with a pitch-black underbelly. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2021
