    Product description

    Formed under the name Paradox in 1983 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, the band eventually became known to a larger audience under the name HEXX in late 1983. After two highly acclaimed classic US METAL albums, released in 1984 and 1986 by SHRAPNEL Records, the first Metal Only label ever (the second album was also released worldwide by ROADRUNNER Records), HEXX changed her style and henceforth played Death Metal. Under this banner, HEXX released 2 more EP s as well as their third and last album in 1991 via CENTURY MEDIA Records. In 1995, HEXX finally dissolved to get back together in 2013, 30 years after its founding. In 2014, the band made their re-union live debut in Europe at the famous 2014 KEEP IT TRUE Festival with a special Old School Show where they only played songs from the first two albums!
    Stylistically, they now returned to their old power metal roots and they immediately started writing new songs and playing a new demo. Soon a new album should appear!
    To celebrate this re-union and the 30th anniversary of the band, METAL BLADE Records are now releasing a reissue of these 2 classics from 1984 and 1986 in a unique box set, with completely redesigned covers, and mass bonus content on two CDs and a DVD

      Super Aufmachung, Booklet mit allen Details der Band und Texten. 3 Stunden super Sound + 4 Stunden DVD von Livekonzertausschnitten. Hier wird für wenig Geld sehr viel geboten. Die Musik ist sehr guter Speed/Thrash Metal der 80er. Wer leicht technisch angehauchten Thrash mag ist hier genau richtig

      5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST!!!
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2016

      One of the finest metal reissue packages ever!

      Included here are both Hexx albums from 1985/86, tons of bonus tracks, a dvd clocking at an incredible 250 minutes, and a big fat booklet. I can hardly believe I'm holding this, 31 years after buying Hexx' debut album No Escape. Since then we've had to live with reissues on dubious labels or terrible sounding downloads. No longer, thanks to Metal Blade we now have great sounding remasters of these underground classics!

      Disc 1 features the fantastic Under The Spell album; one of the finest power metal albums ever, right up there with Vicious Rumors' Soldiers of the Night and Chastain's Mystery of Illusion. The songs are excellent, raw but well-constructed, fast but certainly not speed or thrash. Singer Dan Bryant deserves special mention, with his powerful, scratching vocals that sit somewhere between Dio, David Wayne (Metal Church) and Tim Baker (Cirith Ungol). Unfortunately Bryant left for bigger things (he thought) because this Hexx line-up really killed. Bonus tracks are a live track from '86, a 9 track demo from '85 and 2 surprisingly strong new songs from the short-lived 2014 reunion with Bryant.

      Disc 2 consists of the great debut album No Escape. It's not as powerful as 'Spell' and singer Manzo's 'wailing' may not be to everyone's taste, but the song material is excellent throughout and the sound is dark, moody, eerie, and - thanks to Manzo - certainly unique. Bonuses here are the original 3 track demo from when the band were still called Paradox, a 2013 demo with Manzo (again, a short-lived reunion, and again featuring surprisingly strong new songs), and 4 live tracks with new singer Eddy Vega, who has no trouble with the challenging material.

      The dvd is fine if you regard it as an extra. Most welcome would be the 1986 footage with Bryant but as usual such ancient video recordings of obscure metal acts are almost murky and pretty much un-watchable. Later footage shows Hexx succumb to the pressures of the era and evolving into a mediocre thrash metal band. Best quality footage comes from the 2014 and 2015 reunion gigs with Manzo and Bryant. The first isn't very good, with guitarist and main Hexx man Dan Watson messing up his solo's, but the second gig is excellent - suddenly Watson can play again. But as said, the dvd is only a bonus; the main treasures here are the two original albums, as they are fine slabs of power metal that belong in every 80's metal collection.

      Finally, the booklet (or BOOK!) is stunning, featuring tons of crisp archive pics (including one from Kirk Hammett's bachelor party), the complete history of Hexx and countless entertaining anecdotes. From knowing virtually nothing of this Bay Area band, we suddenly know everything. Major labels could learn something from this reissue box. It's clearly a labour of love and - at this price - incredible value. I don't think I've ever been happier with a reissue. So if you're an 80's metalhead, do not hesitate any longer!

      素晴らしいの出来です。
      曲展開が良くギターも程よくテクニカルです。
      私は評価の高いUNDER THE SPELLを期待して購入しましたがNO ESCAPEの方がツボでした。
      アルバム二枚にボートラ、映像まで付いてこの値段。
      80年代正統派メタル好きな方は買いです。

      Boxset completissimo dedicato a una band spesso bistrattata o dimenticata. Gli Hexx, seppur non conosciutissimi, hann scritto delle pagine importanti dello speed metal e questa raccolta consente di entrare in contatto con tutto il loro materiale "che conta". Acquisto immancabile.
