HEXBANE, a new band that features veterans of the scene, has unveiled the artwork and first details of its debut EP “From Hell”, which is planned for release in September via The Circle Music and Hell’s Fire Records.
The band was born out of nostalgia and admiration for the primal days of black metal. The band’s ethos is simple: to create pure, unadulterated proto-black metal that honours the nostalgia and aggression of the era that started it all.
The band comprises a monumental lineup of extreme metal veterans:
- The Magus on vocals (ex-Necromantia, ex-Rotting Christ, The Magus, Thou Art Lord)
- George Emmanuel on guitars (Lucifer’s Child, ex-Rotting Christ)
- Tas Danazoglou on bass (Friends of Hell, ex-Electric Wizard, Mirror, Satan’s Wrath)
- Faust on drums (Djevel, ex-Emperor, Blood Fire Death)

The band previously said:
“HEXBANE is a band born out of nostalgia and admiration of the primal black metal days, where pioneer bands created and established the genre. So expect nothing more and nothing less than pure proto- black metal in music and spirit.”
Pre-orders for the 7″ EP will start on 6.6.2026. Further details regarding the release will be unveiled in the coming months.
