Question about Hexx

Metal student Number of posts : 126 Age : 44

Never really realized that these guys had other stuff released prior to Morbid Reality until today. From the very few songs that I heard on youtube, No Escape and Under the Spell seem to be great heavy/thrash outputs. Can you guys tell me whether these were released on CD or are they vinyl only releases? Also, are those solid releases all the way or just a few good songs scattered throughout the albums?

Thanks.

No Escape & Under the Spell are Vinyl only (unless it's been reissued lately, don't think so though)

Under the Spell was first released on Shrapnel and then on Roadrunner

No Escape is also on Shrapnel

The two of them are on a "2 on 1" CD bootleg from Greece and Under the Spell is also on a Split CD Bootleg with the Nightcrawler release "Soilder in Time"

Ohh ok, thanks. I've seen those 2 CDs on eBay and for one of them the asking price is $70. The other one is being sold for $19.99 but I still think it's too exepensive for a boot. Do you know where I could get those boots cheaper?

I have those first two power/heavy metal albums by HEXX on vinyls and i think they are better then their thrash metal records.

Hexx recently reissued Under the Spell and No Escape in a box set on CD, along with a DVD. I just got it in the mail.

I bought it from amazon uk. Very good box set.

I had never heard anything from these guys before, so this was a blind purchase.

Very good band. Dvd is interesting too.

great band, like all era's of this band, but my personel favourite album by Hexx is Under the Spell wich is a killer slab of USPM!.

i still need to get that boxset.

Only album i heard from them was Morbid Reality which didnt do much for me. Maybe i should check out their other stuff.

Morbid Reality sounds nothing like their other two full length albums. No Escape and Under the Spell are more comparable to bands like Metal Church, Helstar, Shok Paris, or very early Savatage than the extreme thrash metal sound they had on Morbid Reality.

Morbid Reality was reissued last month. Just a head's up for those who dig this band but don't own that album. I ordered it several hours ago.

It's up on Spotify too because of that. Threw me for a loop since I'm only familiar with NE and UtS. Almost like it's a different band. Very dense, extreme, chaotic thrash sound, good but fairly inaccessible.

Also, their two EPs, Watery Graves and Quest for Sanity, get reissued next month. I definitely plan on getting those soon.
