The entire universe darkens as UK occult metal band CRIMSON VEIL conjure their debut album HEX through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM)(vinyl edition to be released on January 10, 2025). Highly anticipated by the press and music aficionados, the release conjures a brooding visual aesthetic and a musical style that defies conventional metal boundaries, engulfing the senses completely.
The title and opening track ‘Hex’ draws listeners straight into their maelstrom of sounds with its swirling synth/bass intro, kicking off a five and a half minute ride through an emotional world of captivating drum patterns, celestial and brutal vocals, topped by bittersweet, seducing leads. In celebration of the HEX release, the official title track music video, which is another prove of CRIMSON VEIL‘s sophisticated approach to art, has been launched on YouTube simultaneously.

The band predict, “‘Hex’ is a complex song of many parts, growing from a gentle eerie mystery into a terrifying climax with no way out. The listener is at first intrigued by the beauty but then unable to turn away as the music reaches its violent conclusion.”
