Digipak CD with 16 pages booklet. 10 Year Anniversary edition reissue.

Background information about 'Dawnbearer (10th Anniversary)'

Hexvessel returns with their haunting masterpiece "Dawnbearer", now celebrating its 10th anniversary with this essential reissue. This isn't just folk music - it's a mystical journey through psychedelic occult realms that defies easy categorization. From the opening ritualistic chants of "Invocation Summoning" to the transcendent finale of "Oracle Of The Starlit Dawn", every moment crackles with otherworldly energy and ancient wisdom.

The Finnish collective, led by the enigmatic Mathew McNerney, has crafted something truly special here. Tracks like "I Am The Ritual" and "The Death Knell Tolls" showcase their ability to blend traditional folk instrumentation with darker, more experimental elements. The addition of bandoneon, upright bass, and various traditional instruments creates a rich tapestry that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern. This anniversary edition captures the full scope of their vision, making it essential for anyone seeking music that operates on a deeper spiritual level.

Current 93, Death In June, Swans, Chelsea Wolfe, King Dude
