Just a short reminder that “Hexapla – The Remasters” (my initially remastered version of my debut album, which was subsequently taken down from my discography when I substantially remixed and remastered the original Hexapla) is scheduled for an appearance in the “New and Notable” section of Bandcamp’s homepage tomorrow, on the 4th of April (from noon, EST).
See you there!
Update: see the screenshot below!
Hexapla – The Remasters is out only for two days, and it was already streamed 100 times!
As an independent, self-promoted musician I find it a huge achievement and want to thank you for your support!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve started a YouTube channel. Besides the two Hexapla releases, you can find there a couple of short video files, and I plan to upload there several covers and further guitar playthrough videos in the near future.
As some of you may already know, the remastered version of the original Hexapla debut album will come out in two weeks: it will be available from the 31st of March on the main streaming platforms. It took a tremendous amount of time and effort to remix and remaster the entire original album as well as to replace the synth-bass lines with “real” guitar tracks, but now I’m super happy that I did it and I’m very curious about your opinion on the new sound!
Also, I finally finished recording my next album. This process proved to be a quite long road, too: I started to come up with ideas for a possible future release already in August, 2021, and only by now (almost eight months later) could I finally finish recording all the guitar and bass tracks as well as programming most of the MIDI data (the symphonic and electronic inserts as well as the drum track. Although the MIDI data still need to be further polished, the basics are already there). Apart from the title of the new album (“Missa Innominata“, which means “Unnamed Mass” in Ancient Latin), I cannot disclose much of this future release, as most of the details are still in continuous movement, fluctuation and progress. However, by now I became absolutely sure that the album will contain six – relatively long – tracks with the average song lenght of more than 8 minutes (which altogether means more or less 52 minutes of total playing time). My dear friend Dávid Ujhelyi (the photo artist who kindly provided me the cover images for both Hexapla releases) already finished working on the new album cover representing the heavy and somewhat gloomy atmosphere of the new songs in a beautiful way. He did an awesome job and I’m sure you guys will like it!
Until then, I’ll still have a lot of work on polishing, mastering and mixing the original, unmixed raw tracks. I wish I could give you an estimated release date for Missa Innominata, but I wouldn’t predict it earlier than the summer of this year. Let’s, therefore, concentrate now on the release date of the remixed Hexapla album on the 31st of March! In the meantime I’ll try to speed up the mastering process and reach to a more or less final mix ASAP.
Thank you again for being here with me, and supporting my work!
Nothing compares to the feeling of being appreciated!
Symmachus, the fourth track of Hexapla today appeared on one of RepostExchange’s charts, Pop/Rock Top40. It’s already on the 36th place!
Thank you everyone for being with me, and supporting my work.
Just a quick update on this cold Sunday afternoon 🙂
I’m progressing well with the recording of the new songs. The whole material is already 80% recorded, but needs further fine tuning, and lots of mixing /mastering. First, let me show you a short solo from the fourth track. It’s still far from perfect, but I’d like to share with you a snapshot on how it’s evolving.
Thank you for being with me here and supporting me!
Released on August 3, 2021, Hexapla marked the beginning of Darkwave – a debut that set out to fuse the raw energy of thrash metal with emotional depth and intricate composition. The album’s six tracks, named after Origen of Alexandria’s monumental six-fold opus from around 200 A.D., each explore different yet interconnected facets of the same musical vision: speed, complexity, and deep emotional resonance.
But Hexapla was never meant to remain static. Nearly eight months after its initial release, a remixed and remastered version – Hexapla: The Remasters – saw the light of day on March 31, 2022. The once raw and dense sound was refined, gaining a more layered and polished character. Programmed synth bass lines were replaced with digitally modified guitar tracks, designed to mimic bass, adding greater clarity and a more organic feel. This iteration of Hexapla even earned a feature in Bandcamp’s New and Notable section on April 4, 2022 – yet, in the end, it still didn’t feel like the definitive version.
Determined to push the album to its full potential, the entire work was rebuilt from the ground up in 2024. Every detail was reimagined: the guitars were re-amped, the programmed MIDI drums were reinforced with real drum samples, and the pitch-corrected guitar track was finally replaced by an actual bass guitar. The result? A more mature, richer, and even more powerful sonic experience – one that fully realizes Hexapla’s original vision.
