Hiemis are a solo project from Spain that plays a mixture of drone, dark and esoteric ambient and this is a review of his 2019 album "Thule" which was released by Gradual Hate Records.
Home made instruments start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding drones making their presence known a few seconds later. Some of the tracks are long and epic in length while the synths bring in elements of dark ambient when they are utilized as well as using a variety of many different sounding keys.
All of the tracks are instrumental while all of the songs sound very different from each other which also gives the music a lot more variety. At times the music also gets very ritualistic, ethereal and esoteric sounding and all of the songs also stick to a slower musical direction throughout the recording.
Hiemis plays a musical style that takes drone and dark ambient and mixes them together to create an esoteric sound of his own as well as keeping everything instrumental. The production sounds very dark while the songs themes focus on Atlantis, Thule, Greco-Roman Mythology, Philosophy, Politics and History.
In my opinion Hiemis is a very great sounding mixture of drone, dark and esoteric ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wrath Of The Gods" "The Rivers Of Hell" and "At the Stroke Of The Trident". 8 out of 10.
