In the spring of 2026 Invictus Productions will release “Crucifial Imprecations”, the sophomore full-length from Florida based Death Metallers HEXORCIST. The band’s debut full-length “Evil Reaping Death” will also be re-released via Invictus Productions with bonus material alongside the new album. Both albums will be available on vinyl and CD formats. Gene Palubicki from HEXORCIST had this to say about the new record: “This album is a portal back to when Death Metal was at its most violent recklessness. It is like channeling everything of the dark Speed, Thrash, Death from 30 years ago and making it rage again today. Prepare for total punishment!” www.facebook.com/hexorcistband
