Hexenhaus was a Swedish thrash metal band.

Band history

Hexenhaus was founded in 1987 by Mike Wead (ex- Candlemass ) in Stockholm . The first line-up recruited Wead from the members of the recently disbanded band Maninnya Blade . After the debut album A Tribute to Insanity was released by Black Mark Production in 1988 , Wead swapped the entire line-up in 1989 and took over the sole songwriting . The 1991 album The Edge of Eternity featured more progressive influences and met with divided echoes from both fans and critics. The album Awakening , released in 1991, is described as a classic of Swedish Thrash Metal.

In 1992, band head Mike Wead decided to found Memento Mori together with Messiah Marcolin (ex-Candlemass) , whereupon Hexenhaus came to a standstill. Some of the musicians switched to Memento Mori, others formed the prog metal band Fifth Reason. Although Hexenhaus released the comeback album Dejavoodoo in 1997 , it was unable to build on the earlier successes and was finally dissolved a little later.
