The track 'The Death Knell Tolls' (taken from Dawnbearer) was the fourth track played in Progsphere's Awesomecast Episode 12 (2011 year in review xceptional): http://www.prog-sphere.com/2011/12/29/progspheres-awesomecast-episode-12-2011-year-in-review-xceptional/Listen to the whole of their latest album 'No Holier Temple' on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/hexvessel/music/albums/no-holier-temple-18672162 'The Death Knell Tolls' from Dawnbearer is also available, as is 'I Am The Ritual' (1st video in o.p.) here: http://www.myspace.com/hexvessel
Edit: These two tracks are also streaming on bandcamp, where you can buy the rest of the album for €8 EUR: http://hexvessel.bandcamp.com/, or you can go to https://soundcloud.com/#hexvessel, where there are three more tracks from the album to listen to, plus five of the eleven tracks from 'No Holier Temple'. And for those with access to Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/2fuokmUjtxRkcVgAoSreFS (No Holier Temple) http://open.spotify.com/album/1yXmUECjoWzFofvZB247WV (Dawnbearer) Some tracks can be streamed in full on last.fm too: http://www.last.fm/music/Hexvessel - four are featured on the homepage, but if you select the albums and then click on individual tracks a few (but not many) can be listened to in full. The rest are the usual 30 second samples. There is a full bio there too: http://www.last.fm/music/Hexvessel/+wiki

To me they sound similar to Agitated Radio Pilot and United Bible Studies. The second is on PA as prog folk

No Holier Temple fuses the acoustic 70s folk vibe of its predecessor into a more psychedelic, electric, doom-folk sound with Manzarek-like keys, screeching rhythmic Velvet Underground violins, Miles Davis trumpets and hypnotic freakouts. Weaving the uncanny songs together are the narrative vocals of Mat McNerney, who on this album has matured into the b*****d child of Burke Shelley, young Jon Anderson and Paul Simon. Inspired by the progressive, spaced-out haze of bands like Amon Düül II, Van Der Graaf Generator and Ultimate Spinach, whose song “Your Head Is Reeling” they cover with religious abandon. Their sound now expands outward from their eerie, signature, ritual-esque intros into a genre-twisting cauldron of otherworldly rock and the late-night, dreamy spoken-word of artists such as Jim Morrison (An American Prayer) and Ken Nordine. Hmm, not sure about this one although I really enjoyed the music. Think it could see a flood of other psychedelic folk / black metal suggestions, but I'll ask the PF team to check it out. Edit: Interesting to note the connection with Rosie Cunningham of Purson, another psychedelic band currently being discussed re inclusion (awaiting full album.)

These guys have been approved by the Prog Folk team. Kotro, you interested in writing a bio? If not, I'll try to get to it this week. |

Sorry, Bob, missed this. Sure, I can come up with something, but probably not before mid-next week.

Don't worry about it. Kenethlevine said he'd work on it.

They have been added
I had a terrible time using the admin section today, all sorts of internal server errors, so I couldn't get the cover for the first album up. Also, could not find credits for the albums so I just used the band members and instruments. Feel free to update Edited by kenethlevine - April 28 2013 at 11:15 |
