In time for Samhain 2020, the Finnish pagan neo folk group led by Englishman Matt McNerney recorded a cover of the Misfits' "Halloween" from 1981. That punk rock group arranged a morbid but still musically upbeat take on some of the rituals of the season, but HEXVESSEL offers a contrasting approach, much down tempo, crepuscular and haunting, and it does not disappoint. Of course with their history, this theme is as appropriate as was their arresting cover of "Gaia" a few years prior. Along with other chillers in this vein over the last decade and a half, "Halloween" epitomizes the Gothic style of HEXVESSEL at their best. Time to lighten things up with an episode of Black Mirror.
