June 11, 2008, 16 years ago
OSM Records have set a date of August 5th for the US release and August 8th for worldwide release for Los Angeles-based thrashers HEXEN's debut album, State Of Insurgency. The cover art was done by Ed Repka (DEATH, MEGADETH) and can be seen at the left.
According to a press release, "Hexen’s influences include a very wide spectrum of sub-genres spanning from thrash to extreme/black. They have also been known to put more thought and imagination into their lyrics than your average thrash band. With subject matter expressing their cynical take on politics and inner struggles, the themes include quite strong social commentaries. While a surplus of LA bands are currently in futile attempts to reanimate the '80’s by cloning styles and riffs of bands at the time, Hexen incorporates all the best aspects of the art to form original music of a new and refined sound essential to their brand of metal, while retaining the hardcore spirit of thrash’s originally loud, rebellious, chaotic premise."
