Comparing this to Passage is quite pointless, since it's definitely much less interesting. It contains some bangers, but the album feels way too long and gets a bit samey after a while -- so pretty much like Eternal.

It?s hard to talk about Hegemony without constant comparisons to Passage because the two albums are firmly rooted in the same formula. They both feature an industrialized percussive rhythm, fat power chords, vicious growls and the spirit of black metal (if not occasionally the sound). Within the framework of Samael?s discography, Hegemony is the natural progression of everything that made Passage a classic with only minor nods to anything that happened between the two releases. As it is, 15 years late, Hegemony is a great release that finally embraces the nostalgia of the band?s long-time fans. If Samael truly want to experience a musical renaissance, though, they need to do more than simply rehash a sound they should have kept nearly two decades ago. I believe they still have the talent to do so, and Hegemony proves they still have the drive.
