Hexvessel states: "Another solar year begins. Death and rebirth, both physical and metaphorical. As we celebrate Winter Solstice, we offer this symbolic sacrifice for you to partake. Two songs which carry great weight and meaning for us. The first of which is the closing ritual from our new album All Tree, called Closing Circles. The sun’s course reaches it’s lowest noon altitude and we mark the end and the beginning of another year of light. Closing Circles bids fare well to those we have lost. Light illuminates the darkness and we are purged and renewed once more, to shine onwards. Fire Of The Mind is one of the most beautiful songs I know. Fire destroys, but also gives and supports life, sparks and inspires it. As Dostoyevsky wrote that “fire is in the minds of men” and transforms the substance of our universe. Ordinary transformed into the extraordinary. It is what separates us from the rest of the animals, but as we use it we are also doomed to play with it. It is in effect magic and the pursuit of magic. When we see fire, we are reminded of the magic inherent in the universe and within ourselves, of the “fire of the mind”. One such band who knew about music as a magical art form was Coil. We hope you enjoy these two songs we offer you. May you have a blessed winter solstice and hold those you love dearly close. The blacker the sun, the darker the dawn."
Fantasic cover had the pleasure of experiencing this live at st johns church in london pure excellence love hexvessel and the honesty in these dark times
I appreciate the the song choice. The vocals from "Fire of the Mind" seem clean, sterilized, and delivered with an almost cheerful tone. That is an ironic twist to a very dark song. Good job changing the perspective.
Today I mournfully acknowledge the 7th year anniversary of my brother's passing with both of these songs.
Today marks 8 years since my brother passed away. I will continue playing these songs in your honor. I love you Rodney. So much
