Hexjakt Swedish Doom Metal Trio Unleash Blessing of the Damned!

Sweden’s rising doom collective Hexjakt are now streaming their crushing debut album Blessing of the Damned in full at Decibel Magazine, ahead of its official release on December 1st via Majestic Mountain Records and Burning Skull Records.

Decibel introduces the band with fitting fire: “Hexjakt means ‘witch hunt’ in Swedish and these bearded badasses are providing the soundtrack to a good ol’ fashioned witch burning on their rumbling, lumbering full-length debut, Blessing of the Damned. The eight crushing tracks all clock in well over five minutes and are bleak doomscapes of dread and darkness.”

The band had this to say about the new album: “With Blessing of the Damned we present a collection of the darkest and most conceptually charged songs we’ve created so far. The title itself captures the album’s core tension: the pull between damnation and redemption, light and darkness. These songs unfold across a landscape of crushing, slow-paced riffs, murky atmospheres, and lyrics that evoke ritual ecstasy, defiance, and resignation. This is a journey beyond traditional boundaries, a space where the marginalized and the forsaken are given a voice, and perhaps even a kind of blessing in their downfall.”

Formed in 2024, Hexjakt channel the spirit of classic doom into something distinctly their own, blending colossal riffs, suffocating atmospheres, and introspective lyrics that delve into the occult, human frailty, and the vast unknown.

Their debut EP, released earlier this year, drew glowing praise from both critics and fans for its depth, intensity, and immersive aura. On stage, Hexjakt’s performances are as punishing as they are hypnotic, dragging audiences into a world of gloom, weight, and revelation.
