“A lurching slab of cathartic post-psych ferocity.”
"A brutalised statement of art and of intent."
Today sees the release of GNOD's latest album Hexen Valley.
Sadly due to the ongoing issues in vinyl manufacturing, the vinyl has been delayed slightly. They are being delivered to us on Monday so we hope to ship next week and hope they will land in record shops by next Friday.
The CD versions will be shipped and be in the shops today.
You can buy the ltd edition Black Vinyl version and CD from here:

The formation of Hexen Valley began in summer 2021 when Gnod’s Paddy Shine moved to Hebden Bridge to join fellow protagonists Chris Haslam and Jesse Webb in a co-op house at the 200-year-old Nutclough Tavern. As has been the case since the formation of Gnod, the line-up of the collective shifted and morphed to fit circumstances - soon they were joined by fellow Nutclough resident Richard Chamberlain on guitar, and in the Hebden Bridge Underground rehearsal studio the four soon began intensive jamming in which certain distinct songs and themes began to emerge.
Hexen Valley is where a monolithic sonic force - charged by the energy of its surroundings -makes contact with other realms. It’s the sound of a band whose fearsome intensity is only matched by their evolutionary drive. It’s Gnod at full power, and it’s a haunted place you might struggle to leave.
