Hoexed

from Signals From Mars Podcast

In Signals From Mars – Episode 443, I’m joined by Kat Keo of Hoaxed to talk about the band’s latest album, Death Knocks, and the evolution of their sound and lineup.We get into the sonic jump you’ll hear on this record, the creative process behind bringing April Dimmick into the fold, how that changed what the band can do musically, and how Death Knocks came together after Two Shadows. We also dig into genre labels (hard rock / heavy metal / gothic rock), the realities of coming from the Pacific Northwest, what it means having Relapse Records behind the band, and—most importantly—where you should buy the album to best support the band directly.If you’re into dark, heavy music with atmosphere and hooks, this one’s for you.#SignalsFromMars #Hoaxed #HeavyMetalThank you to my patrons:Steven SailerSteve HoekerJeremy WeltmanMike JonesBrad DahlMark StriglGabriel RuizChris VaglioMetal DanJohan EderströmEd FergusonAnthony MackeyToni EspinSean RichmondThank you for being so supportive!Hoaxed / Kat Keo LinksHoaxedOfficial Site: https://www.hoaxedband.comBandcamp: https://hoaxed.bandcamp.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hoaxedband/Kat KeoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kat_keo/Relapse (Album / Store info)Relapse album page: https://www.relapse.com/pages/hoaxed-death-knocksSignals From Mars LinksWebsite: https://www.signalsfrommars.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/signalsfrommarsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SignalsFromMarsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/signalsfrommarsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/signalsfrommarsX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/signalsfrommars
