HEXX Release Fourth Studio Album ‘Wrath Of The Reaper’
September 15th, 2017

San Francisco, California-based power / thrash metal band Hexx issued fourth full-length studio album Wrath Of The Reaper on September 15th, 2017 through High Roller Records.

Guitarist Dan Watson commented: “Perhaps Hexx phase three is a good way to describe it. This new record is mostly rooted in our old power metal style of our first two albums, but there is a track on the album called ‘Exhumed For The Reaping’ that has a lot of very fast riffs that almost sound like it could have been from our speed/ thrash metal era. Eddy’s vocals are very high and melodic, so it still sounds like very fast power metal and not like true thrash metal.

“We consciously tried to take what we thought were the best elements and style of our first two albums No Escape [1984] and Under The Spell [1986] and use that as the mainframe feel and vibe for this new record. I think there are slight elements echoing back to Quest For Sanity [1988 EP] as well in some songs. We think this new album is by far our best offering.”

The outing was produced by Bart Gabriel and Dan Watson, and co-produced and engineered by Tim Narducci. Mastering was handled by Patrick W. Engel.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘Macabre Procession Of Specters’
02. ‘Screaming Sacrifice’
03. ‘Slave In Hell’
04. ‘Swimming The Witch’
05. ‘Dark Void Of Evil’
06. ‘Unraveled’
07. ‘Voices’
08. ‘Exhumed For The Reaping’
09. ‘Circle The Drain’
10. ‘Wrath Of The Reaper’
11. ‘Certificate Of Death’ (CD bonus track)

Hexx’s line-up was as follows:

Eddy Vega (vocals)
Dan Watson (guitar)
Bob Wright (guitar)
Mike Horn (bass)
John Shaffer (drums)

Third studio record Morbid Reality was released in November 1991 via Century Media Records.
