Hexjakt – Blessing of the Damned (Majestic Mountain Records) – out Dec 1!

Hexjakt is a heavy, brooding doom metal band from Västmanland, Sweden. Formed in 2024, the band forges crushing riffs, haunting soundscapes, and introspective lyrics into a sound rooted in the spirit of classic doom, yet unmistakably their own.

Their music is slow, monolithic, and emotionally charged, delving into themes of the occult, human frailty, and the vast unknown. Released earlier this year, Hexjakt’s debut EP drew glowing praise from both listeners and critics, celebrated for its depth, intensity, and suffocating atmosphere.

On stage, the band delivers performances as punishing as they are immersive, dragging audiences into a realm of gloom, weight, and revelation.

With an unyielding focus on mood, texture, and emotional resonance, Hexjakt invites listeners on a journey through despair, mystery, and the shadows beyond.

Now the band returns with their first full-length album, Blessing of the Damned, set to be released on December 1, 2025 via Majestic Mountain Records in collaboration with Burning Skull Records.

A collection of the darkest and most conceptually charged songs they’ve written to date, Blessing of the Damned explores the tension between damnation and redemption, light and darkness. The music unfolds in a soundscape of crushing, slow-paced riffs, murky atmospheres, and lyrics evoking ritual ecstasy, defiance, and resignation.
