HEDONIST Scapulimancy Album Review | BangerTV Metal Album Reviews
The ancient stench of war follows HEDONIST on their campaign of destruction!! This four-piece old school death metal band hails from Victoria, BC, and brings forth a ferocious exhibition of power amidst morbid undercurrents of disaster. Timelessly in the vein of Bolt Thrower, Nihilist, Entombed and Dismember where death takes bearing on the facade of life.

A great record from start to finish. Clean vocals packed up & left the building . Defeated by the coolest female mullet clad vocalist in Canada.

Saw them last week with Carcass in Indy. They opened and stole the show. Total badassary from start to finish. Hoping to see them again!

bought this last week and had no idea the vocalist was a woman singing straight up – I've never listened to Bolt Thrower but I haven't heard anything I like better than this so far in 2025

Gonna have to check this out more. This sounds super cool and sick.

Code, from Iskra and Clanna Morna, also runs Circle A Studios, hes produced a dozen or more great albums

Loved that segway. The band was also good.

You had me at "Iskra"! This shit rips! It's exactly what I want from some crust/war/death metal. How had I not heard of them before?

Awesome album, absolutely rips, thanks Blayne!

i’ve seen the front woman running at the local track and she rips on there as much as on the stage

Nice review, but it didn’t need the political stuff. Remember, you have supporters from both sides.

woah whoa whoa Blayne, enough with this antisemitism 😅 yeah, do not go to the states 😆

You cut your hair so you can workout? Is this Bizarro-Blayne?

Im not taking you seriously with THAT hair.
That is all

They're playing a show in Toronto on September

Hey Blayne, Hedonist are playing in Toronto on September 11th at See-Scape if you want to see them!

@2:30 I definitely HAVE heard of Hedonist before, as I've seen them live many times! They're such a sick band, Athena is such a sick frontwoman and the stage presence is killer. Recommend to anyone who has the chance to see them live.

Absolutely crushing, from the clips you showed.
I'm just finding out about this band, and I hope they get to do a few shows here in Australia with Cimiterium, another death/crust band that takes a lot from Bolt Thrower.
@LeroyCReed
August 11, 2026 at 11:32 pm
Yes, listen to the whole album. I have one or two going on in the car, and I at least get through 2 at the gym. The only thing worse than a playlist is the radio.

No disrespect to Blayne here but by the 10 minutes mark of the review i'm learning this album is 36 minutes long and the review is 16. I've questioned my choice of either finishing the review or ditch it to start the listen right away. On a serious note tho, i love most of his reviews and is part of the fun for me.

This sound really cool. I'll be picking it up, for sure. Thanks, Blayne!

Saw Hedonist play with Ripped to Shreds in Vancouver this year and they absolutely blew me away. Her live vocals were excellent! Happy to see them moving up.

Haunt just released their new one today. It rules.

such an incredibly sick band, even their demo crushes most other shit in their space
