Possession, the second single from Portland's HEXXES, is a dark, gothic-tinged song with occult overtones and an intense metal accent. Drawing on the band's rich, gloomy palette, it goes deeper into their industrial impulses while forging a sound that is especially theirs.
The new track, which combines dark electronics with emotive, gothic-leaning vocals, is powered by strong guitar work, surging basslines, and layered synthetic intricacy. With their new offering, the trio solidifies its position in the darkest reaches of the scene, gratifyingly combining gothic rock, industrial and doom metal.
At its heart, Possession follows a route of desire and repercussions, developing like a ritual that spirals out of control and clings in the aftermath.
