Dying Victims Productions has announced that they will release on the 22nd of October a special new EP from black/horror metal band Hexenbrett, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi. And today revealed the new track "Die Teuflischen von Acapulco (Satan Sangre)" in its entirety.

It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when Hexenbrett truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of Dying Victims. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with Erste Beschwörung EP in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.

Hexenbrett returns with a crazed 'n' crazy EP that's the result of cancelled concerts and tours: the four-song Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi. As suggested by its title, the record is no "beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo. Because, for the first time in the brief history of Hexenbrett, this EP does not feature performances by Josto Feratu or Scarlettina Bolétte. Instead, the tracks were recorded by what had been the live line-up for 2020, but of course under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple.

Suitably, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi strays some from the Hexenbrett sound so far revealed whilst etching the band's twisted identity even further. While Hexenbrett's previous full-length record featured unexplainable additional sounds in the background of the tracks, the material on Intermezzo... had to be re-recorded many times as things got lost continuously. It seems as if Feratu and Bolétte are still haunted by their past... But hark! Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi is no taster/teaser of the second Hexenbrett full-length. Those mysteries are only known to the duo. Link
