musickcasting Hex's magick is strongly felt on Calling to the Universe, broadcasting with great power from New Zealand. The artwork is a great reminder that the wheel of the year is experienced differently in the Hemispheres, yet we are all interconnected. We experience this life together. Intense musick: take a listen to find out. Favorite Selection: "Witches of the Hex", a unifying call for connection. This musick inspired me to quest for more magick and embody Musickcasting. Favorite track: Witches of the Hex.

James Stonehouse Great blending of influences, social conscience, paganism and soaring vocal harmonies add up to well crafted songs that captivate. Favorite track: Prayer.
Grimnir

Grimnir Uniformly appealing with multiple instances of brilliance. Nice choral vocals over trad. doom/jangle/shoegaze; effortlessly catchy but with lovely dramatic touches. A pagan answer to Ghost? Fans of Earth, Om, Nadja, Agalloch, Eluveitie, Electric Wizard, Of the Wand and the Moon, Sol Invictus, and all other doomy, pagan-y things, take note. Favorite track: Witches of the Hex.

Prayer 05:58
pray to the mother / life giver life taker pray to the mother / earth shaker rain maker pray to the mother / may she love us true welcome us into her hearth / make a home for me and you together / forever
2.
Wives 05:03
we were in a new town / two ends of the same street in the middle was a crossroad / and that is where we'd meet under the bubblegum tree / beside the stone walled church that is where we would agree / to be each others blessing and each others curse on the sunset beach / on the pacific fringe our tears drop into the ocean / staring out at oil rigs we down our simple times / under the cover of night and that is where we would agree / to be each others compass and each others light
3.
Albatross 04:08
turn your face to ocean breeze what floats above and hides beneath a plastic island in the sea testament to human greed around that junkyard in the sea the birds fly over hungrily they eat the island in the sea become their own mortality instead of the cross the albatross around my neck was hung thick sea fog of history cannot hide the squawking beaks the haunting sound of beating wings the sceptre song the sea bird sings
4.
aren't you sickened by this waste while people starve / don't you think it's cruel? does it make you sick that you won't change because you need the poor to rule?
5.
calling to the sisters / calling to the mother calling to the universe / calling to you

about

HEX Wellington, New Zealand

New Zealand-based rock duo HEX are Kiki Van Newtown and Jason Erskine. Brimming with frustration, imagery, and verve, their music deals in subversion: a discordant, electric experience under the umbrella of sonic twilight.

“HEX calls its sound "witch-rock," and damned if it doesn't sound like witch-rock: dark and sinister, gritty and ethereal, muscular and feminine” NPR SXSW 2018 Hottest 100
