Hexecutioner's Sophomore Album Of Ritualistic Sludge, Doom, and Stoner "Tornit" out May 30th

Formed in 2021 from Seattle’s fertile heavy music scene, Hexecutioner announced themselves in thunderous fashion with 2024's “Pagan Ground”. Crushing tones, bulldozer riffs, and Erin Gravina’s haunting vocals made for a brutally heavy debut, and the duo have uncovered new depths to continue the next step in their dark evolution with sophomore album “Tornit”.

Building on the occult rock undercurrent running through “Pagan Ground”, Gravinas and drummer Bryce Hebner tighten the screws and dive further into the ritualism of their heaving stoner and doom. Across four 7-minute-plus tracks, the dense, filthy tones and relentless drumming combine to lock into groove after groove with a single-minded intensity.

Hexecutioner showcase an ability to completely dial in and ride a riff into oblivion, recalling OM in their almost ceremonial approach, entrancing the listener with riffs that could go for hours with no one batting an eye.

Adding sludgy, visceral weight to the sonic attack is the thick, gravelly low end, working in tandem with Hebner’s punishing kitwork to create a rhythmic bedrock that holds up the heavy proceedings with ease.

Hexecutioner dare you to take the plunge and lose yourself in the depths of “Tornit”. You’ll never want to leave.
