Finland's black/doom/folk metal band Hexvessel has announced a new album and presented its first single and video, "A Dark & Graceful Wilderness". Hexvessel's seventh full-length, Nocturne, will come out on 13 June through Prophecy Productions.
Hexvessel's singer and songwriter, Mat "Kvohst" McNerney, writes: "This song is a macrocosm of our new Nocturne album and it embraces all the elements that are represented throughout. It ranges from epic black metal structures that evoke nature's grand epiphany to minimal synths as we drone out to the chaos of wild space. All the influences are there from Thorns to Tangerine Dream, Darkthrone to Philip Glass to Dead Can Dance. As an artistic tradition, Nocturne captures the essence of night, a sombre veil where nature is the liminal path".
With Nocturne, Hexvessel explores the liminal spaces between light and darkness, nature and solitude on an epic album. The ever-evolving and shifting Finnish band has reawakened its treasured roots in folk music and psychedelic rock as it artfully weaves acoustic interludes, cosmic synths, and spectral piano into the frost-spun threads on its black metal loom.
Nocturne sounds familiar and fearlessly progressive - as echoes of tradition entwine with a fresh reinvention of the band's characteristic sound. According to singer and songwriter Mat "Kvohst" McNerney, this work has been created to capture the essence of night, a sombre veil where nature is a path between worlds. It is furthermore revolving around spiritual growth, transcendence through darkness, and enlightenment. Link
