Bio:
Portland, Oregon dark rock trio Hoaxed return with their stunning new album Death Knocks via Relapse Records. Three years in the making, the group—featuring vocalist/guitarist Kat Keo, drummer Kim Coffel, and new bassist/vocalist April Dimmick—have honed their stygian craft to perfection. Whereas predecessor Two Shadows offered an eclectic array of genres through singles "The Call," "Guilty Ones," and "The Knowing," Death Knocks rises above the first album fray, solidifying Hoaxed as masters of the shadow. Certainly, tours with Wolves in the Throne Room, Blackbraid, Gaerea, and Amorphis impelled their next-generation songs, but the roots of Death Knocks go deeper.
Album:
Hoaxed recorded Death Knocks at Falcon Recording Studios, a studio founded by Oregon Hall of Fame inductee Dennis Carter in 1982. The group re-enlisted producer/engineer Gabe Johnston (Unto Others, Vintersea) and hired whizkid Arthur Rizk (Kreator, Crypt Sermon) to mix and master. In total, the group spent eight days in February and March tracking Death Knocks. While most bands horde months ironing their metallic mettle, Hoaxed's expeditious time at Falcon engendered a polished, big-sounding force befitting their larger-than-life songs."We love recording," says the band. "It's such a great ending to the songwriting process—a proper eulogy to the years of songwriting. We were writing right up until we went into the studio, putting on the final touches. Some of the elements, like cello, were written after we'd recorded the majority. Arthur was a late add. We had the album completed for a couple of months before he stepped in. He's our salvation mixer. He gave this album a beautiful finish. We were so happy to work with him—he's the absolute best!"Hoaxed keep the cover art in-house on Death Knocks. Whereas Two Shadows was designed by Coffel, the group's new album leads with an engaging sculpture by Dimmick. To support Death Knocks, tours are in the planning phases and music videos are also in the works. Surprisingly, Hoaxed are already putting their able fingers into their untitled third album. But the real magic will be the response by the threesome's burgeoning fanbase."We love hearing from people who connect with the songs," says Hoaxed. "Knowing that our struggles and curiosities are not only shared but enjoyed is a great feeling. Our songs, especially those on Death Knocks, are storytelling songs. We want people to find connections and draw parallels. We love playing live and connecting with people through our art. It's the best thing."
