Today, HOAXED share the second single “Guilty Ones” fromtheirdebut full-length, Two Shadows. Watch the full video HERE.
HOAXED Comment: “Horrible injustices are executed everyday and Guilty Ones is a reflection of what role we all play in that execution.”
Two Shadows is out October 28 on LP/CD/CS/Digital. Physical pre-orders are available via Relapse.com HERE. Digital Downloads/Streaming/Pre-Save HERE.
Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Kat Keo and drummer Kim Coffel, HOAXED‘s superlative blend of styles—heavy melodic rock with captivating hooks, gothic undertones, undeniable metal, and tinges of americana – pave the way for a singular expression that’s entirely their own.
Two Shadows is as unique as it is memorable and catchy. The record thrusts, retreats, and beguiles across its melody-powered and hook-driven expanse, with earworms “The Call,”“Guilty Ones,” and “The Knowing” serving as the album’s crucial lighthouses.

Formed in Portland, Oregon, in 2020, HOAXED’s initial songwriting plan casts a wide net. The breach opened up considerably as Coffel and Keo explored the outer edges of their musical influences and artistic aspirations. After fruitful songwriting sessions, the twosome self-released their eponymous four- song EP in February 2021. Signaled by the whirring, diaphanous spell of video single “Candle Master”, HOAXED caught the attention of Relapse Records, who signed the outfit in 2021. As a live act, the pair has already hit the ground running, rocking the stage with Unto Others, Blackwater Holylight, and Amorphis, and hailed as an “absolute riot on stage.” (Metal Insider)
