Hexvessel

Hexvessel is a psychedelic folk band originally formed in 2009 by Englishman Mat McNerney after he moved to Finland. Drawing considerable influence from folklore, nature, and the esoteric, Hexvessel's music weaves a rich tapestry that bridges the gap between the earthly and the mystical. Their lyrical content often revolves around themes of paganism, the occult, and the reverence of the natural world, contributing to their distinct sound and establishing them in the neofolk genre with touches of rock and psychedelic influences.

With a discography marked by an evolution of sound and spirit, Hexvessel's music is both haunting and uplifting. Albums like "No Holier Temple" and "When We Are Death" served to solidify their reputation for crafting sonic worlds where ancient harmonies converge with contemporary consciousness. Their more recent releases, including tracks like "Polar Veil" and "A Cabin In Montana", and albums such as "Kindred" and "All Tree", show the band continuing to explore and meld the mystical with the musical, appropriate to the enchanted landscapes that serve as their inspiration. Hexvessel's work resonates with those drawn to the more arcane sides of folklife, art, and music, as they conjure an experience that transcends mere performance, embodying a ritualistic form of storytelling.
