HOAXED recently released their sophomore full-length album, 'Death Knocks,' via Relapse.

HOAXED recorded 'Death Knocks' at Falcon Recording Studios with producer and engineer Gabe Johnston (Unto Others, Vintersea) and enlisted Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Kreator, and more) for mixing and mastering. The group spent eight days across February and March tracking the album. While many bands take months to refine their metallic mettle,HOAXED’s focused time at Falcon resulted in a polished, big-sounding force that matches the scale of their larger-than-life songs.

DARK ROCK DUO HOAXED’S DEBUT ALBUM TWO SHADOWS OUT NOW ON RELAPSE RECORDS

October 29, 2022

HOAXED unveil their captivating and catchy debut full-length, 'Two Shadows', officially out now on LP/CD/CS/Digital!

Order & listen HERE

Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Kat Keo and drummer Kim Coffel, HOAXED's superlative blend of styles—heavy melodic rock with captivating hooks, gothic undertones, undeniable metal, and tinges of americana - pave the way for a singular expression that’s entirely their own.

'Two Shadows' is as unique as it is memorable and catchy. The record thrusts, retreats, and beguiles across its melody-powered and hook-driven expanse, with earworms “The Call,” “Guilty Ones”, and “The Knowing” serving as the album’s crucial lighthouses.

“Hoaxed are built for Halloween!”

-Loudwire

“Shows a level of songwriting that’s not typically seen from a group that started just two years ago.”

-Metal Sucks

“On 'Two Shadows', HOAXED deliver a doom-pop manifesto made to haunt your ears for days, months, maybe even years. This isn’t a debut; this is a collection of bangers you can’t be without.”

-Distorted Sound

“That's what I call a start! Singer/guitarist Kat Keo and drummer Kim Coffel formed the band in 2020, a year later their four-song EP got the attention of Relapse, and here we have their debut. And to me it feels like a revelation - to come up with your own and fresh style today is something almost unheard of. The girls combine their melodic rock with a gothic feel and create a catchy intersection of dynamic music and melancholic vocals."

- Spark Magazine Czech Republic

“The fact that acts like Unto Others, Blackwater Holylight or Amorphis have already toured with Hoaxed is easy to understand from 'Two Shadows'. Grab this disc and go on a nightmare journey with Kat and Kim yourself, in the course of which horror and beauty alternate at irregular intervals...Warm greetings from two dark hearts, enveloped in great talent and fascinating imagination."

- Sonic Seducer Magazine Germany

Stream & Share "Two Shadows"

Formed in Portland, Oregon, in 2020, HOAXED's initial songwriting plan casts a wide net.

The breach opened up considerably as Coffel and Keo explored the outer edges of their musical influences and artistic aspirations. After fruitful songwriting sessions, the twosome self-released their eponymous four- song EP in February 2021.

Signaled by the whirring, diaphanous spell of video single "Candle Master", HOAXEDcaught the attention of Relapse Records, who signed the outfit in 2021.

As a live act, the pair has already hit the ground running, rocking the stage with Unto Others, Blackwater Holylight, and Amorphis, and hailed as an “absolute riot on stage.” (Metal Insider)

HOAXED Comment:

"It's human nature to be curious about the path your life will take and how you can influence it. This song cautions around digging into practices you don't understand.

'The Knowing' music video was a unique undertaking. We always edit our music videos ourselves, but we took it a step further this time: creation of 'The Knowing' music video was, start to finish, just the two of us."
