Hexx - Watery Graves
Side one starts off with the title track, which I feel is the weakest one, though still better than most of the crap that tries to pass as songs. Anyway, it opens up with bubble sounds, which I think may have been done on the bass. If so, then it’s very impressive. The tune goes on to tell the story of the remains of a sunken ship. The story is cool. The second tune, “Edge of Death,” accentuates its crusher speed with grindingly slow verses. Song three is a little more constant with its speed, about “Altar of Sacrifice”’s (Slayer) pace. Musically, Hexx is very tight and clean. The drums are interesting at times, and the guitars work well together. The lyrics are cool and fit with the vox almost perfectly. Side two is supposed to have an interview, my copy has side one again. Worse things have happened. Pick this one up, it’s worth it.
{Hexx later had an album on Century Media (Morbid Reality, released in 1991) that featured a cover of the Spider-man theme. I recall that being the best track on it.}
