Hexis-Tando Ashanti LP (2017)

Country: Denmark
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Doom, Black Metal
Label: Halo Of Flies/Alerta Antifascista 
Tracks: 11
Length: 36.05'

I've been really looking forward to doing this review seeing that Hexis has grown to be one of the best and heaviest bands to come out in the blackened metallic hardcore scene over the past seven years.  Hexis is a four piece band from Copenhagen, Denmark who formed in 2010.  Hexis play a dark, ominous, and oppressive style of music that mixes elements of hardcore, punk, doom, and raw black metal within their sound.  Since forming in 2010, Hexis have released a seven song LP titled XI in January of 2012, a split 7" with Redwood in 2013, a thirteen song LP titled Abalam in January of 2014, a split 10" with Primitive Man in May of 2014, and a split with This Gift Is A Curse in January of 2015.  Tando Ashanti is the band's latest full-length LP, which was released via Halo Of Flies and Alerta Antifascista records on April 14th, 2017.  Tando Ashanti is truly an exercise in sheer brutality as far as I'm, concerned.  Tando Ashanti features eleven songs of burgeoning, oppressive, and at times almost hypnotic sounding black metal and doom tinged hardcore.  Tando Ashanti has a strong undercurrent of seething and menacing rage, which makes Hexis stand out in a scene for black metal tinged hardcore bands are pretty common.  Overall, Tando Ashanti makes for an amazing listen and has been my favorite release of 2017 so far.  Seriously, my words can do this album justice.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

Hexis-XI LP (2013)

Country: Denmark
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Black Metal
Label: Dead Tank Records
Tracks: 7
Length: 21.0'

Hexis is a band from Copenhagen, Denmark, playing a mix of Hardcore and doomy black metal for fans of Celeste. The band has existed since 2010, but has already played 200 shows in Cuba, Russia, the UK and all-over Europe.
“Into the darkness. Darkness amidst the ice. Darkness amidst the grey days. Darkness warping every note and sound. Cold isolation. Frozen warnings. Hexis makes hardcore drained of machismo and the warmth of human companionship. There is no celebration, no brotherhood, no cathartic violence.
Hexis makes black metal that pays no allegiance to deities or archetypes, black metal that is immersed in the foul grit of the human condition. All you are left with is your own pointless thoughts being battered blind by this overwhelming force of sound. Every note on “XI” is blown out and damaged beyond repair, sonics pushed into abusive levels. Strings breaking. Vocals emanating from your buried, atavistic lizard brain. Contempt and pity at the same time. From Copenhagen, did you even have to ask?” (Press Note)
