Hexvessel

Reissue! Hexvessel's debut album 'Dawnbearer' was released worldwide in 2011 on Svart Records and is considered to be an influential classic record of the modern "occult rock" revival. Highly popular with Hexvessel fans and unique in their catalogue, featuring guitars by Andrew McIvor (Code), violin work of Daniel Pioro (who works on Paul Thomas Anderson's soundtracks with Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead), the early production work of Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Paradise Lost), and guest vocals from Carl Michael Eide (Virus, Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir). "Think Woven Hand, haunted '60s/'70s pastoral folk, or a darker riff on Midlake. Mat McNerney covers Clive Palmer's post-Incredible String Band crew C.O.B. and successfully transforms and darkens Paul Simon's 'Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes.' He quotes Crowley, Truman Capote, Isaac Babel, etc. Unlike black metal-ready folk, this is folk by a talented, ambitious black metal musician. But the energy's there. As is the atmosphere." ~Stereogum.
