HOAXED unveil their captivating and catchy debut full-length, Two Shadows! Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Kat Keo and drummer Kim Coffel, HOAXED's superlative blend of styles—heavy melodic rock with captivating hooks, gothic undertones, undeniable metal, and tinges of americana - pave the way for a singular expression that’s entirely their own. Two Shadows is as unique as it is memorable and catchy. The record thrusts, retreats, and beguiles across its melody-powered and hook-driven expanse, with earworms “The Call, ” “Guilty Ones, ” and “The Knowing” serving as the album’s crucial lighthouses.

Formed in Portland, Oregon, in 2020, HOAXED's initial songwriting plan casts a wide net. The breach opened up considerably as Coffel and Keo explored the outer edges of their musical influences and artistic aspirations. After fruitful songwriting sessions, the twosome self-released their eponymous four- song EP in February 2021. Signaled by the whirring, diaphanous spell of video single "Candle Master", HOAXED caught the attention of Relapse Records, who signed the outfit in 2021. As a live act, the pair has already hit the ground running, rocking the stage with Unto Others, Blackwater Holylight, and Amorphis, and hailed as an “absolute riot on stage.” (Metal Insider)

Saw them in Detroit and it was wonderful!

[sunsoulaevis]

I love how the drums really fill the void of bass. Very catchy yet solid.

[AWM]

Very interesting style. Very authentic. The girls don't try to be anything other than they are, which sounds really good. Cheers!

[beardBfeard]

They definitely have a unique sound. It's refreshing. I dig it.

[itnefer]

I've discovered them by chance and I'm hooked. I love the guitar sound. It reminds me of early Mercyful Fate and Ghost - definitely a proof that you don't need a ton of distortion to cut through. Nice vocals with harmonies, not overshadowing the instruments. I'd love to see them in Europe.

[PermaFrostmusic]

Really excited for the rest of the album. This sounds great!

[planomathandscience]

No one, and I mean, NO ONE sounds like this. Listening to rock for 50 years, this is refreshing and delightful. Thanks. Now. TOUR PLEASE!!!!

[allworries]

This rips hope they get the attention they deserve

[cyrollan]

[atduskandforever]

Loved the EP so I'm really hyped for the album 🤘

[LeftHandZapht]

Very direct whimsy about the air behind the metal, rather refreshing to listen to. 🤘

[ofermashiach]

This is pretty unique. They definitely have their own sound and style.

[ScottNeily]

Amazing... familiar, like echoes of the past, yet novel, as if it were an import from a near, yet alternative, dimension... really great work!

[vargvolknor]

This song should be your theme song its that damn good

[isaacjamesbaker]

Damn this is infectively catchy and fun! One of those songs where I'm like, yep, buying that album

[Michael_]

Pretty cool! I'll have e to give their debut album a listen!

[chrisjones]

Not to be all up on that "So and so brought me here" deal but, I'll just say I'm here cuz of Unto Others and Eternal Champion. And I like what I'm hearing! Consider me a new fan!

[edmerkel]

I noticed the guitar tone before I saw the guitar. Of course. LP Jr., the quintessential rock guitar. These ladies kick it!

[knaka]

I liked it at once. Pre-order the CD now. It's a type not found in Relapse Label so far. Relapse, this month's PRE-ORDER is EXHUMED, City of Caterpillar, etc., and it's varied and interesting. I buy everything physically.
