From “Skookum” that dives into folklore & the tales of the Sasquatch, to the attitude of “Rogue” proudly going against the grain, to “Bind My Foe,” settling old scores through mythical means like only Hexecutioner could, and “Submission” exposing the true nature of dealing with forces that are larger than life itself. Formed in Dec 2021, Hexecutioner is a fuzzy psych-tinged doom trio out of Washington state with Erin Gravina on guitar and vocals, Bryce Hebner on drums, and Daniel McManus on bass. The riffs are monstrous slabs of Sludge, foreshadowing something truly awesome in both size and scope, while also containing a meditative vibe akin to Om. Erin's Vocals offer up a degree of soulfulness ala Lori S of Acid King. The tones are rich and concrete-grey and the groove they lead is engrossing and so very much the focus. Tornit is the second LP for the two-piece Seattle doom band HEXECUTIONER, ten months after Pagan Ground. Four solid songs with loudness but with a melodic side as well. Crushing riffs, supergroovy badass bass, a killing drum and a female voice epic as fuck…this is what you’re getting to experience with this masterpiece! Everything is perfectly balanced and highly addictive…get ready to get your ass kicked! A more digestible version of Conan music for me!~ Édouard Dubuisson (Les chroniques d’Eddy, MetalUniverse) June 6, 2025
