HEGONY “Deviations”: Raw 90s Death Metal, Obsessive and Unsettling

2018 brought their first concerts and intensive work on material. The result was their debut album, "First Stab" (2019), released by Via Nocturna. With this release, the band made their mark on the Polish underground scene and began performing regularly on club stages. In 2020 the split album "Underground Covenant" was released, recorded with friendly bands from Lower Silesia – a material that declared their commitment to the local scene and the underground DIY ethic.

‍

The next step was the demo "Second Stab" (2021), released as a preview of a full-length album. A year later, "Turpistic Ecstasy" (2022) premiered – a material that made HEGONY's name increasingly appear in reviews and discussions about Polish death metal.

‍

At the end of 2025, the band returned with the EP "Deviations" The material was recorded, mixed, and mastered in the band's private studio. Herr was responsible for all production, further underlining the independent nature of the release. The cover art was created by Rotted Artist, who has previously collaborated with artists such as Baalzagoth, Codex Nero, and Vomitvsanctvs.

This is a demanding and unsettling album - far from a one-time listen. HEGONY's music draws you in gradually, imposing itself on the subconscious and returning with obsessive regularity. "Deviations" doesn't flaunt its substance; instead, it builds an atmosphere of growing phobia, internal decay, and pulsating aggression.
