Crimson Veil - Hex (2024)

Hex, the debut album by Crimson Veil, blends elements of gothic metal, progressive metal, and cinematic soundscapes to create a deeply atmospheric experience. The album is characterized by a dynamic contrast between delicate vocals and aggressive riffs, paired with haunting cello sections. Tracks like "Shift" and "Opulence" demonstrate this balance, with the music oscillating between moments of melancholy and intensity. The album's production, however, has faced criticism for sometimes muddying the mix, limiting the impact of the instrumentation, especially in the more complex, layered sections. Nonetheless, Hex shines with its emotional depth, intricate compositions, and the commanding presence of vocalist Mishkin Fitzgerald​
