HEXMAS returns to Altar Bar this December.
Five of Tasmania's best crawl out of the abyss to deliver an evening of evil, relentless noise and punishing intensity.
No warmth. No Light. No Forgiveness.

ICICLAN
Breaking mysterious and caustic, this Black Metal enigma tells tales of forgotten lore with intensity and purpose.
Breaking their hibernation one last time.

PORTCULLIS
Power. Rebellion. Fear.
From the island once known as hell on Earth comes the Iron of Portcullis, a collective of dead souls bound in crushing riffs and dark melodies.
You do not have the right.

INSECTS & TEETH
Insects and Teeth are an extreme metal duo that take influence from
Gorguts, Insect Warfare, Full of Hell and Lightning Bolt. Combining
elements of grindcore, dissonant death metal, and mathcore, their
performance will engulf the stage with a sudden ferocity that will be
a spectacle not to miss.

RITUAL//COLLAPSE
we embrace an apathetic march to our inevitable demise. Architects of our own existential obsolescence, the anxiety-inducing, crushing, end-times doom that will sountrack our ruin will be Tasmania 5 piece ritual//collapse.
As we stare into the abyss, ritual//collapse take raw anger and oppressive despair at our acceptance of this collective fate, delivering a defiant response in a seemingly unending wall of noise.

COMPULSIVE GEOPHAGIA
We beckon the head-crushing intensity of 90’s brutal death with the nauseating riffs
amalgamating from the lineage of the Tassie tech death scene. We are the unimpeded. We will make you sick. 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita. We pay our respects to their elders both past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.
