About the album

With their seventh full-length "Nocturne", HEXVESSEL delve into the ethereal realms that exist between light and darkness. This Finnish ensemble reawakens their roots by blending folk influences with psychedelic rock elements and acoustic interludes. The album stands as a testament to their versatility as it weaves cosmic synths and spectral piano into its musical fabric. The result is an epic masterpiece that echoes traditional sounds while fearlessly exploring new musical landscapes.

The genesis of this project was a commissioned performance at the Roadburn Festival in 2024 titled "Music for Gloaming: A Nocturne". Now fully realized in recorded form, the album blends black metal's raw spirit with the minimalism of composers like Philip Glass and György Ligeti. Guest performances by artists such as Saara Nevalainen and luminaries from ORANSSI PAZUZU enrich its eclectic nature further.
