HEXED was  formed  in 2015  by  Lead Vocalist  Tina Gunnarsson and  Guitarist/Vocalist  Stellan Gunnarsson in  Uppsala,  Sweden.  Shortly after the material and pre-production was done Daniel Håkansson joined the band on bass guitar along with Teddy Möller on drums. With the addition of the new drummer Simon Aspsund in 2018 and guitarist Jay Matharu in 2019 the current 5-piece line-up was complete. HEXED’s  inspiration  comes from  bands  such  as  Queensrÿche, and Crimson  Glory.  The  music  focuses  on  strong  and powerful  vocals  combined  with  driving rhythms and dark melodic  guitars. 

• HEXED  debut  single  and  first  lyric  video  “Dreams” was  launched  in  the  beginning  of  May  2016.  
• During the recordings of the “Netherworld” album HEXED  released  their  second single and the first official  music  video for the track “Exhaling  Life” which  contains  amazing  guest-vocals  from  Thomas  Vikström (Therion, Candlemass). 
• The  third  single  with  lyric  video,  "Lightyears" was  released  in  May  2017.    

The  response and interest for HEXED  after  these  early  releases  was overwhelming.  HEXED received several  proposals before signing a Worldwide record deal  with  Thomas  Hörnkvist and "ViciSolum  Productions".  

• HEXED’s first full-length  album  “Netherworld” was released on the 30th March 2018. The debut was well received leading to many amazing reviews from both press and fans all over the world.  In  addition  to  Thomas  Vikström's involvement  on the album you  can  also  hear powerful guest-vocals from  the  magnificent singer  Ronny  Hemlin - (Tad  Morose) on  the  last  track  "Remake  My  Soul".
• Together with  the  album,  the  opening  track  "Obedience"  combined with a  lyric  video was simultaneously released.  
• Early on the band gained a strong reputation for delivering a solid and energetic live performance.
• HEXED has played venues all around Europe including several well known festivals during 2018-2019.   
• In March - April 2019 HEXED embarked on a European Tour  covering eight different countries together with danish band “Manticora” and fellow swedes “Loch Vostok”. During this Tour the band received amazing feedback from the audiences and also experienced an overwhelming amount of  interest from both Radio stations and Magazines. Several interviews, photo sessions and meetings with media along the Tour helped to build up the band’s fanbase.  
• HEXED have already shared stages with several established artists such as Leprous, Omnium Gatherum, Harakiri for the Sky, Green Jelly amongst many others. 

In due time metal fans around the globe will be split  into  two  groups - Those who already are HEXED and those who are about to be!
