ABOUT

Hexjakt is a heavy, atmospheric doom metal trio from Sweden that has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling new voices in the modern doom and stoner underground.

Formed in 2024, the band wasted no time carving out a distinct identity: the music moves like ancient machinery — slow, inevitable, and unyielding — driven by massive fuzz-laden guitars, cavernous bass, and a rhythmic pulse that shifts from restrained tension to explosive intensity. Lyrically, Hexjakt explores the occult, human frailty, existential dread, and the vast mysteries of the cosmos. The result is not just heaviness — it is atmosphere: immersive sonic worlds that pull the listener through despair, transcendence, and the quiet spaces in between.

Their debut album has earned international acclaim for its monumental songwriting, immersive production, and confident artistic identity. Critics have described it as “grand and brilliant,” “a new chapter in doom,” “a stunning, evolved debut,” and “a masterpiece of modern doom, sludge, and stoner metal.”

This is doom not just as a genre, but as an atmosphere — a ritual in sound.
