Danish blackened hardcore pioneers Hexis return once more with their new EP, Relictus/Umbrae. Recorded in 2021 in the same sessions as their critically acclaimed 2022 full-length Aeternum, this EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by none other than globally renowned engineer Fredrik Nordström at Fredman Studio.
Relictus/Umbrae is composed of two tracks - the opening number, Relictus, is a chaotic, high-energy sensory assault, displaying the very same blackened hardcore aggression Hexis has become known all over the world for. The second track, Umbrae, sees Hexis showcasing their slower side as they explore the vast depths of blackened doom - a seething, heaving, malignant wall of blackened dissonance and distortion that would make even the most devout doom enthusiast weak at the knees. As always, Hexis have once again delivered on yet another world-class offering of bleak, bludgeoning blackened hardcore.
The first single, Relictus, is premiering now on YouTube alongside a striking visualiser courtesy of Finnish production group Riivata Visuals, and is also available on your streaming platform of choice now.
