Hyena Ridens - Cave Canem

Review by Nicolas Catard

The album "Cave Canem" by Hyena Ridens is a unique blend of experimental rock and electronic music that takes the listener on a journey through a complex soundscape. The band's use of unconventional instruments, such as the theremin and the didgeridoo, adds an otherworldly quality to the music.

The album opens with the track "The Howling," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie sound effects and haunting vocals. "Wolfpack" is a standout track with its driving beat and catchy chorus, while "Bone Dance" is a slower, more atmospheric track that showcases the band's ability to create a sense of tension and suspense.

Throughout the album, Hyena Ridens explores themes of primal instincts and animalistic behavior, as evidenced by the title track "Cave Canem," which translates to "beware of the dog" in Latin. The band's lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, adding another layer of depth to the music.

Summary by Nicolas Catard

"Cave Canem" is an impressive debut album from Hyena Ridens that will appeal to fans of experimental music and those looking for something a little different. The band's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sounds is evident in every track, making for a truly immersive listening experience.
