Death/doom metal band Hex are doing things in a remarkable way by bringing in their own flavour to the mix and it can’t be better exemplified than on this latest track that got premiered at Heavy Blog Is Heavy HERE. Writer Jonathan Adams described in detail about what makes their music special. Excerpt –
“we are pounded by a relentless stream of riffs that are both well-sequenced and executed to near perfection. Probably the most impressive aspect of Hex’s approach to songwriting are their instincts in knowing when they’ve given you enough of one particular passage”
- "amazing" - Metal Temple (Greece) 9/10 - "the game was already won from the first seconds" - Metal Na Lata (Brazil) 9/10 - "has all the ingredients to devastate" - Dioses Del Metal (Spain) - "jam-packed with one staggering quality after another" - Head-banger Reviews (US) - "a very good balance between the ferocity and forcefulness of Death Metal and the heaviness and gloomy feeling of Doom Metal" - Broken Tomb (Spain) 8/10
HEX (Spain) – ‘God Has No Name’ (July 5th, 2019)
Genre – Death/Doom Metal
Release Date – July 5th, 2019
Record Label – Transcending Obscurity Records
For fans of – Runemagick, Bolt Thrower, Gorefest, Paganizer, Unleashed, Paradise Lost, Warlord U.K.
Spain’s best kept secret, Hex, return with a pummelling new full length of death/doom metal music with unconventional riffing and delivery. This is mid-paced death/doom metal that is reminiscent of early Runemagick, Bolt Thrower, Paradise Lost, Hypocrisy and Unleashed. But there’s more than meets the eye, as the music is interspersed with exotic riffing, female vocals, interludes and even breakdowns. There’s a certain appeal to their music that makes it stand out from the derivative lot as this doesn’t owe too much to any particular style or band. It’s a cohesive fusion of various influences melded into a sound that Hex can now call their own. With members of experienced bands in the lineup such as Virulency, Tomb, Incursed, to name a few, the outcome is simply phenomenal. The fiercely titled release ‘God Has No Name’ will go down as the breakthrough album for the band and perhaps even the whole of the current death/doom style with the band’s innovative and thoughtful approach towards it.
