"We're truly honored to welcome US black ambient veterans Sutekh Hexen to the fold. Both defiant and meditative, their latest self-titled full-length and first studio album furthers the project's inquiry into opposition, endurance, and paradox. Both hypnotic and cruel, these ten highly charged tracks transgress yet again any previously imposed boundaries while upholding their raw ethos at its root, and at times defying the listener's expectations altogether. Though tempestuous as ever, with this work, Sutekh Hexen reaches across thresholds and thrusts longtime listeners into redefined spaces: haunted disorientation, surreal agony, the distress of buried forces surfacing, a revelation of black tongues. Each track is a rite of clandestine horror through a distillation of power-ambient, industrial, and black metal deconstructionism. This is a new era of Sutekh Hexen, and it is a sharpening of their blade, a merciless lucidity. Let there be light."

First CD edition of California black metal/noise band Sutekh Hexen's critically acclaimed Become, originally released on reel-to-reel tape in 2012. This edition also includes the exclusive bonus track "Vestibule," which serves as an extraordinary junction in the listening experience. Become centers on vortex, repetition, and inducing trance-like states. The release serves to bridge the gap between 2012's Behind the Throne and 2013's Monument of Decay. Presented in a Digipak adorned with stunning artwork. Layout by Kevin Gan Yuen; source photography by Patricia Cram. Mastered by James Plotkin.
