" I'm not sure what exactly to define this album as, because Invocator doesn't sound like any other band on this record. Mid-paced tech thrash?......heavy bone-crushing riffs with a stout production by jacob Hansen(guitars,Vocals), Per M. Jensen (the Haunted,Artillery) on drums....these guys created what I consider a masterpiece of metal "

" The vocals are sort of shouted, but very clear and not deathly. The riffs are really cool; they weave around each other and pull the listener into the songs, as the drummer, Per M. Jensen hammers out really strong beats. In fact, the drumming is some of the best that I've ever heard, probably due to the fact that Per is fond of jazz drumming. Overall, the music is very catchy, very heavy, sometimes technical (but not too much), but always fascinating....A true gem and one of the finest metal albums of the 90s, no doubt "

One of the most underated albums of all time !!!

Good call bro..........

" HeXeN?..Another Thrash Metal band from Los Angeles releasing their debut? Doesn't sound too impressive in the beginning, does it? Well, I assure you: these guys really kick ass and – hell yeah – they are impressive!"



" HeXeN "fuses the elements of melody, heaviness, speed, and technicality within the lair of thrash" and the outcome is a versatile and diversified album with a pressing and aggressive sound. The CD starts out with "Blast Radius". This song is the musical version of the awesome cover designed by Ed Repka(megadeth). It is distinguished by high speeds, a somewhat lunatic singing and heavy parts. "Gas Chamber" starts as a high speed thrash blast but surprises with a change in speed and the intake of melodies towards the mid of the song. The highlight of "State Of Insurgency" is "Past Life" which shows technical diversity of HeXeN best. A great chorus, awesome melodies, aggressive shouts and extreme speed make this a great song for moshpits and headbanging "



" Altogether "State Of Insurgency" is a great melodic thrash metal album seeing my cd player to be in almost constant rotation. A very versatile, dynamic and diversified album and a real surprise......Now Go Buy The Fucking Thing !

Thrash Attack !........Get It!
