Ironically, the length of time it took to see the debut release of Hexedene has
coincided with the departure of the vocalist and guitar player. Katie Helsby
and Ian Palmer recently had their own project signed to a large record label in
England and as a result left Hexedene leaving Jonathan Sharp as the sole
member. Sadly, this means that the key elements that make Hexedene unique will
cease to exist once Jonathan finds a replacement vocalist. Katie had a very
strong vocal range that could be very lush on slower tracks like 'Everything
and Nothing' or more aggressive such as on 'Only Human'. Ian's guitar work was
always complimentary, never dominating or hiding in the final mixdown. These
elements combined with Jonathan's obvious electronic wizardry was bordering on
perfection. My only complaint with this relase is that while it contains
fifteen tracks, seven of them are remixes, four of which are the same song. I
want more original material, not remixes, even if they are performed superbly
by the likes of SMP, Alien Faktor, and Society Burning.
Hexedene is:
Jonathan Sharp - programming and guitars
Katie Helsby - vocals
Ian Palmer - guitars
