hekz

Screeching and squealing out of England with all of the bombast and bravado of their heroes comes HeKz. From hi-octane rockers to long drawn out epics, they'll take you on a journey through all things musical and mythical without losing that much needed sense of fun. With 2 well received EPs (and a 3rd fresh off the press and currently making waves) and a wealth of gigging experience under their collective belt, the band continues to thrive and, in the words of a certain Mr Tony Iommi, "keeps the flag flying!"

Artist Type: 

Gaskin

Gaskin's harmonized melodic vocal style set them apart from many their NWOBHM contemporaries, with their style being a bit more refined than the rough riffing associated with early 80's Brit metal. With the standout opening track "Sweet Dream Maker", the End Of The World debut ranks as the better of the two albums released before falling by the wayside alongside many other bands of the time. Many years later, founder/namesake Paul Gaskin recruited a new lineup and released Stand Or Fall in 2000, which coincided with their appearance at Wacken 2000.
