  It's all began in 1993. Being influenced by the Napalm Death, Cannibal
Corpse, Morbid Angel, Pungent Stench, Disharmonic Orchestra, Atrocity,
Righteous Pigs etc., we decided to play brutal, very unusual music for
Armenia. Mostly metal bands were playing thrash and heavy metal. We
(Doom & Festerdead) were involved in the thrash-band called Demon
Spirit. I can describe them as an armenian copy of Slayer. After some
abortive attempts to play more brutal music, we made a decision to
leave Demon Spirit and make our own band. So, we started to find other
members. The metal scene was rising in Armenia in early 90th, and those
who wish to play in some band were a lot. But nobody wanted to play
grind core/death-metal. The wo

  Hexen is an L.A. based metal
band that fuses the elements of Melody,
Heaviness, Speed, and Technicality within the lair of Thrash.
Started out in 2003 when the southern California scene was just a baby,
Hexen soon became a key player in the metal re-emergence. Playing club

Now backed by a label; Old School Metal Records, the band will finally
showcase a compilation of
their best tracks onto the world s

 Beginning:  |
 It all began in 2003, when
Vladimir, a 16 year old heavy
metal
fan,stumbled across an Emperor cd in a music shop and after buying and
listening to it realized that it was what’s good for his ears. He also
realized that he not only wants to listen to that kind of music but
also has the urge to create and play it, which pushed him to buy his
first electric guitar. As time passed, his musical taste changed from
Iron Maiden, Zeppelin and Manowar to darker and heavier bands like
Emperor, Opeth, Mayhem, Katatonia etc. Gradually his guitar skills
increased too and also did increase his desire to have his own band,
until one day, in 2005, he got acquainted with Aleksander, yet another
extreme metal addict (Dark Funeral, Marduk, etc…) who knew how to
handle a gui

With the demise of Andre C. Avanessian's solo folk metal project and a one year hiatus, Andre got together with some friends to jam on one majestic night in July of 2006. Some days after, Andre had a detailed conversation with an old jamming partner and longtime friend Arin Zakarian. The two decided to mesh their musical talents together through the formation of a band, something both had desired for quite some time.
The Birth of Vishapakahr:
At first they started out rewriting some of Andre's old music but soon after, the band developed their own sound that was darker t ... Read more »
