(news) Finnish Thrash Metal Quintet HEXING Sign With Wormholedeath!

Hailing from the eerie part of Helsinki / Finland, HEXING are glad to announce that they have signed a deal with Wormholedeath for their album “Welcome to Salem” out via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Band statement:
We are super excited to finally be able to release our debut album and to begin working with Wormholedeath records. We have tried to blend the energy and rawness of many old school thrash metal bands such as Exodus, Stone and Megadeth, with influences from various metal subgenres, such as death metal. Many of the songs on this album feature fast riffs, heavy breakdowns and plenty of guitar solos.

Hexing was formed in East Helsinki at the beginning of 2021 under the name Salem by Riku Siisiäinen, Ossi Kylliäinen and Mio Asimont. Ben Kejonen and Daniel Gamache joined shortly after and the band began working on new material right away. The name Salem was later changed to Hexing before the band’s first concert. After playing multiple concerts in the fall Daniel Gamache decided to leave the band before the album was recorded and he was replaced by Tuure Suomalainen, who recorded many of the guitar solos featured on Welcome to Salem. The current line up consist of Riku Siisiäinen, Mio Asimont, Tuure Suomalainen , Ossi Kylliäinen and Ben Kejonen .

In spring and summer, Hexing performs in Finland. Sometime later, Hexing also heads to other parts of Europe. Have a nice summer!

Line up:
Riku Siisiäinen (Vocals)

In ten weeks the SBÄM Fest 4 will take place at the Tabakfabrik in Linz and it is therefore time to introduce our great side actions with which we offer our visitors that certain something extra. The first one is SBÄM Exhibit!

From Salvador Dali to Andi Warhol, artists have influenced and shaped punk in its origins. SBÄM also started with Stefan Beham’s graphics for tour posters, record covers and merchandise of bands. As part of SBÄM Exhibit, he explores his roots and brings national and international artists from the punk universe to SBÄM Fest for an art exhibition.

It’s all about art forms that have shaped punk rock beyond music, and SBÄM Exhibit offers the festival audiences the opportunity to experience art in their own punk scene right on the spot – from street art to visual art, from musicians who are active in various art forms besides music, and artists who have shaped punk rock in some way with their artistic work.

You can look forward to the following artists and their works:
Steve Caballero
Erik Ohlsson (Millencolin)
Missfelidae (Lisa Arnberger)
A Place For Tom (Thomas Gasperlmair)
SBÄM (Stefan Beham)
