Rorschach by Havok
On Rorschach we return to our death metal roots.
Indeed, Rorschach is the continuation of what we began nearly twenty years ago. A journey of reflection, paved with struggles of existence and defiance. What is reality - if not an ink blot on the pitch black canvas of space and time.
The first songs recorded for Rorschach were completed in late 2018. By then we were finishing up the EP Imago, but decided we wanted our next release to be a full album. Since the rebirth of HAVOK back in 2016, we've been working on songs honoring our legacy while still bringing something new.
Rorschach is a tribute to duality, opposition and to the eye of the beholder. How the balance of the world lies in seemingly two identical things.
"The opposition occupies the benches in front of you, while the enemy sits behind you." - Winston Churchill
