Snake in the Grass Music & Andy Brown proudly present
The English/ Norwegian super group Hex A.D. brings their epic new show to
the UK for a string of dates in November and December of 2024.
With members from Dio, Jon Lord’s band, Paul Di’Anno, Blaze Bayley, Ripper
Owens’s solo band and Bernie Marsden among others, it is safe to say that
this band is a force of hard rock power, and with a string of six critically
acclaimed albums under their own name as well, it is no secret that these
guys mean business.
Hex A.D. represents a fresh take on the classic heavy rock sound, and was
labelled “The new Black Sabbath” by Sweden Rock Magazine after the
release of the 2021 album “Funeral Tango for Gods and Men”. A record that
was voted album of the month in October 2021 by Norway’s biggest metal
magazine Scream Magazine. Notable contributions by TNT virtuoso Ronni
LeTekrö and the band’s fifth member Rowan Robertson, known for his stint
with Dio in the early ‘90s, helped cement this album’s bombastic sound.
2023 saw the release of the band’s sixth album, a double concept album
dealing with war crimes, human rights and genocide. The album was quickly
hailed as a stunning piece of work by the European hard rock press, and as a
result, the band has set up a massive production to be performed in theatres
in Scandinavia from May through September 2024.
The audiences can expect an overload of mighty riffs, ripping Hammond runs,
powerhouse drumming and atmospheric musical landscapes inspired by the
progressive masters from the ‘70s.
Hex A.D. featuring Rowan Robertson will include songs by Black Sabbath,
Dio and Iron Maiden as well as songs from their own rich catalogue.

-DELIGHTFUL SHARP EDGES-
Hex A.D. is returns in 2023 with their most epic project to date! The upcoming double LP
«DELIGHTFUL SHARP EDGES» is a concept album that deals with genocide. The record is a three-part
narrative that takes the listener on a musical and lyrical journey into the horrors and tragedies of
organized liquidation on a massive scale.
Musically speaking the band has ventured into new melodic territories inspired by Thin Lizzy and
Wishbone Ash, as well as having gone deeper into their doomy and progressive roots. The stories
told through the lyrics have dictated much of the musical expression on this massive piece of work,
and it’s safe to say that this album sees Hex A.D. show their most larger-than-life tendencees.
Never has a Norwegian band gone this far in creating a proper concept album in the proud tradition
of the masters from the 1970s, and this one truly hits the mark. It has become a roller-coaster-ride of
emotions, from the haunting, sweet and the epic to the doomy and spine chilling.
To be able to reproduce this grand new sound in a live setting, the band have added a second
drummer and an additional guitarplayer. Both musicians go back decades with the members of Hex
A.D, either as stand ins or from associated past projects.
Music such as this is the perfect veicle for a big stage production, and Hex A.D. are about to show the
hardrock world that they are a force to be reconed with. The massive new stage setup is a one-of-a-
kind construction that sets the mood for the show in a unique way.
This is Hex A.D. stepping up!
