Hexella are a band from Mission, Texas that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of back'n'roll, thrash metal and d beat and this is a review of their 2025 album "The Ancient Gaping Mouth" which will be released in June by Hells Headbangers Records.
A very fast sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in elements of black'n'roll and d beat and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
A lot of the guitar riffing also adds in influences of thrash metal while also utilizing some melodies at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also being in more of a first wave black metal vibe along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Hexella takes black'n'roll, thrash metal and d beat and mixes them together to create a very heavy and aggressive recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Anti Cosmic Satanism and the Nightside.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hexella and if you are a fan of black'nroll, thrash metal and d beat, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Malefic Warpath" "No Return" "Storms Of Uncreation" and "Where The Scythe Falls'. 8 out of 10.
