HEXVESSEL

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: hypnotizing mystical psychedelic neofolk rock

inspired by progressive, spaced-out sounds of the seventies, highly anticipated follow up [2012] to critically acclaimed debut album fuses the acoustic folk vibe into a more psychedelic, electric, hypnotic area with violins and trumpets aplenty, and magically lulling narrative of Mat McNerney in front - such a genre-twisting cauldron of otherworldly rock charms and disturbs at the same time, spreading the awareness and preservation of nature message with huge impact, creating rich, organic soundscape where folk mysticism intertwines with mesmerizing rhythms, ritualistic atmospheres and sprawling mind-bending passages, allowing intricate instrumental layers to bloom organically, while haunting melodies and subtle shifts in intensity guide the listener through an immersive, trance-like journey; recent Finnish cardboard gatefold digisleve edition with authentic design marks tenth anniversary of the album
