Psychedelic rockers BIGELF has set an October 30th North American release date for its cult, underground album Hex. Recorded in 2003, Hex will now be available domestically for the first time ever via the Custard label.

Flaunting a sound that interfuses all the best elements from the late 60's/early 70's rock movement, Bigelf create timeless songs that drip with surging guitar riffs, remarkable Hammond organ playing and some of the best vocal harmonies heard this side of Abbey Road. Often described as "a cross between PINK FLOYD and BLACK SABBATH" and "The Evil Beatles", Bigelf channels all of its influences and delivers music that shares an appeal with metal enthusiasts, classic hard rock fans and vintage prog-heads alike. Bigelf has firmly established its own identity through years of developing and modifying their own DNA into a powerful new kind of music in the tradition of the great rock acts from the past and is a cutting edge, musical experience unlike anything else out there today.

Originally released via the EastWest (Warner) label, Hex is Bigelf's masterwork. Recorded using only vintage equipment, the album charted on the Scandinavian Top 10 upon its European-only 2003 release and saw shining critical acclaim for it's diabolically-heavy pop rife with epic guitars, maniacal keyboards and rich, sophisticated harmonies laid over a foundation of hallucinatory hard rock. Among the album's stand out moments is 'Rock & Roll Contract', a superb pop song with an infectious hook and great lyrics that slam a fist down upon the corporate rock engine, 'Falling Bombs' with its spectacular synth soloing and the dark, power chord-driven opener 'Mad Hatter'.

On the Stateside release of Hex, Bigelf frontman/keyboardist Damon Fox explains, "Whenever I talk about Hex I like to quote the fans. An Elfhead in Brazil once told me, 'Without bands like Bigelf there will be no future. Rock needs heart, strength and open minds. The masters of the past have shown us the way. It's easy, we just need to be honest and do the right thing.' Wow, I couldn't of said it better myself."

He continues, "People today want real music. They're almost dying for it. We're prepared to bring it and change people's lives just like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin did 30 years ago. I'm serious."

The final track listing for Hex is as follows: 'Madhatter', 'Bats In The Belfry II', 'Pain Killers', 'Disappear', 'Rock & Roll Contract', 'Sunshine Suicide', 'Falling Bombs', 'Black Moth', 'Carry The Load', 'Burning Bridges', 'Bats In The Belfry I', '$'.
