Hexvessel - Billion Year Old Being

Psychedelic forest folk-rockers HEXVESSEL will release their new nature-mystic 5th opus, "Kindred", via Svart Records.

The singles that have been released so far show that they are taking a darker and more esoteric path, "Kindred" sees HEXVESSEL re-forge their eclectic melting cauldron or “vessel” of sound into a potent “hex” of spell-binding songcraft.

Blues-laden psych-rock and progressive structures harken back to KING CRIMSON, giving way to dark earthen balladry reminiscent of early Nick Cave and the doom-laden atmospheres of DEAD CAN DANCE. The band returned to their original studio in Tampere, Finland, where they recorded their cult classic "No Holier Temple", which fused HEXVESSELs folk roots with an occult undercurrent, with the new album mastered by John Davis (THE KILLERS / GORILLAZ / LED ZEPPELIN / Lana Del Rey) in the UK.

"Kindred" is adorned by cover artwork by artists Thomas Hooper (who has worked for NEUROSIS, CONVERGE and DOOMRIDERS) and Richey Beckett (who has created work for Metallica, Foo Fighters, Robert Plant), Kindred is an album which calls you on a journey, both intimate and richly enlightening.

"Kindred" is HEXVESSELs 5th album, and a return to Svart Records, where they released their debut album Dawnbearer to critical and cult acclaim 10 years ago. HEXVESSEL was formed by English/Irish singer/songwriter Mat McNerney in 2009 after he moved to Finland. Also known for his work with BEASTMILK (now known as GRAVE PLEASURES), THE DEATHTRIP, guest spots with CARPENTER BRUT and ME & THAT MAN and his earlier work with Norwegian Black Metal bands CODE & DØDHEIMSGARD, McNerney is a both highly eclectic and critically acclaimed musical artist. Across the years, it is McNerney’s work with HEXVESSEL which has been his most brave, exploratory, honest and impossible to categorize, unique and idiosyncratic in a world all of their own.

Today's tune "Billion Year Old Being", taken from the album "Kindred", out April the 17th, 2020. “For us there’s only one temple. Be All and End All. There’s only one religion and one spirit that takes on many forms, and that is the planet earth. This is a deep-earth rock spell, telling your reality-tunnel to go fuck itself. Listen, descend, dissolve.”
