HeXeN is a thrash metal outfit that has made its mark within the metal community through a combination of ferocious speed, technical proficiency, and lyrical depth. Founded in Los Angeles, California, the band emerged in the mid-2000s, a period where the genre saw a resurgence in popularity thanks to a new wave of thrash bands. HeXeN's sonorous journey arguably began to coalesce with their 2008 debut album, "State of Insurgency," which set the tone for their relentless riffs and intricate solos, underpinned by a rhythm section that brought both precision and groove to their sound.

Building upon their initial successes, HeXeN continued to fortify their position within the genre with the release of their 2012 album, "Being and Nothingness." Here, they delved deeper into existential and philosophical themes, all while elevating their musical complexity and maintaining the adrenaline-infused spirit intrinsic to thrash metal. Despite their relatively quiet presence in the mainstream, the band's dedication to their craft bore fruit with the 2021 single "Last Man Dancing," which revealed a band still fiercely dedicated to the thrash metal genre and capable of delivering potent, high-octane music that resonates with die-hard metal enthusiasts around the globe. HeXeN's relatively sparse discography mirrors the meticulous care they pour into their composition and production, favoring quality and thematic cohesion over quantity, which has helped them carve a distinct niche within the metal community.
