Heavy/Power Metal outfit rooted in Venice, channeling savage underground intensity since 2020. Their sound draws on NWOBHM and classic metal traditions with conviction.
San Francisco Bay Area act Hexx formed in 1983 under the name Paradox before settling on their current name and releasing the debut No Escape on Mike Varney's Shrapnel Records in 1984, establishing themselves in the nascent US power metal scene. Their sound evolved through the speed and thrash influences of the Bay Area through the late 1980s, culminating in the Century Media-released Morbid Reality (1992), their most technically demanding record. After a long dormancy following that album, founding members reformed the band in 2013 and released Wrath of the Reaper through High Roller Records in 2017.

Since 2012, they've leaned into the theatrical sweep of the power metal tradition while keeping one foot planted in classic heavy metal firmness.
