This Norwegian heavy prog/Prog metal band is in the process of recording their fourth album.
I'm surprised the band isn't already included on the site, as they suit perfectly.
From the bands official facebook site: "Hex A.D.'s music is doomy and heavy, based on heavy guitar riffs. But their music also clearly shows the members' progressive preferences. The band's classic rock sound reminds a bit of the 1970s, without being retro. Frontman Rick Hagan composes both lyrics and melodies, and he takes the main responsibility in the studio where he plays all instruments besides keys. Organ and mellotron are handled by maestro Magnus Johansen, both live and in studio. Since 2011, the band has been working closely with producer Chris Tsangarides who has done his magic with the band's albums. On stage the band emphasizes spontaneity and improvisation, and this is where the magic really happens. For a number of years, Magnus has been working closely with Jon Lord from Deep Purple, and if there is one person who really knows what it means to play on the edge, it must be him. This love for the spontaneous and intense is also shared by the band's rhythm section; bassist 'Arry Gogstad and drummer Matt Hagan prefer it loud, dangerous and alive. Several of the band members have for a number of years been touring in Europe and Asia with artists like Blaze Bayley, Paul Di'Anno, Geoff Nicholls, Bernie Marsden, Ripper Owens and Rowan Robertson, known for his time in Dio. Robertson has on several occasions been a guest with Hex A.D. on stage. Not only is he contributing to the band's latest album, Netherworld Triumphant, he will also be seen on future concerts. BAND MEMBERS Rick Hagan: Vocal, guitar Mags Johansen: Organ, mellotron, keyboard 'Arry Gogstad: Bass Matt Hagan: Drums" The band started out as a more traditional Doom metal band, inspired by the old school Doom genra and bands like Black Sabbath and Candlemass. By the time they recorded their second band, it had changed to a more progressive sound, and now sounds like a mix of Anekdoten, Jethro Tull, Pink floyd, Genesis and Candlemass. They have released three full lenght albums, and are signed to Fresh Tea. Albums: Even the savage will see fair play (2012) The last nail in the coffin lid (2016)
Netherworld Triumphant (2018)
