Responsible for many of Metal's most trendsetting acts (just think of Exodus, Testament, Forbidden, Heathen or Blind Illusion) for over three decades now, the city by the bay has spawned some of the most innovative and exceptional talents there is... Hexx, one of the third-generation Thrash Metal bands emerging from San Franciso, were formed in late 1984. Their first album entitled »No Escape« was released only in the United States of America by the legendary Shrapnel label and began shaping a steadily growing fan base for the band. »Under the Spell«, issued a year later, made strong waves on the independent radio charts at the time (also in Europe). The third album »Quest for Sanity« was released via Wild Rags Records and marks the end of Hexx Mark I.
