A group, and sound that genuinely represents the darker, truer side of Aotearoa and destroys the white picket sales pitch NZ government sells to rest of the world, the Boredom, the Stove, the Booze & Drugs, parental abuse, isolation, communal warfare, inter-generational lack of education, and the straight up ignorance of western society are all contrarily very normal aspects for many. give a fiendish kiwi musician a bag of drugs and nothing to smoke it with, this is what you get.

Hex's magick is strongly felt on Calling to the Universe, broadcasting with great power from New Zealand. The artwork is a great reminder that the wheel of the year is experienced differently in the Hemispheres, yet we are all interconnected. We experience this life together. Intense musick: take a listen to find out. Favorite Selection: "Witches of the Hex", a unifying call for connection. This musick inspired me to quest for more magick and embody Musickcasting. musickcasting
