“We are so excited to be back on the road again in October, touring our upcoming album ‘The World Splits Open’. As a DIY band, we have built up the most beautiful fanbase over the years and so the opportunity to see everyone again as well as make new friends feels very special. We will be playing songs of love, rage and resistance and continuing to carve out a brave space for the women and the queers. Get ready for communal screaming, walls of friendship and full blown catharsis.”

Due 26th June 2026, “The World Splits Open” untethers HAWXX from the uniformity of modern metal production, abandoning click tracks, quantizing and vocal automation. What you hear is intentional, expressive and fierce. The band’s music is inseparable from its feminist foundations and their activism around Palestine, climate catastrophe and trans and queer liberation. Rebellion is at the heart of all HAWXX do, as they carve out a unique and brave space within the heavy music scene.
“The World Splits Open” is HAWXX‘s response to the world right now. Songs of resistance, grief, rage, hope, hopelessness, queer love and revolution. The 10 tracks were written as a way of keeping their souls alive in a dying world, as a way of building resilience in themselves, in our communities and on our streets. This record weaves alternative metal, punk, and traditional Greek music from Annouli’s heritage.
“This album is the rawest thing we’ve ever made,” confesses Annouli. “We spent three weeks living at Middlefarm Studios in Devon with our producer Pete Miles. Every song was recorded in a room all together, a process that brings out the fire of our stage performance, where we can absorb each other’s energy and capture real magic. You can pre-order the vinyl with a beautiful booklet with lyrics, the stories behind each song with photographs of our time in Devon all beautifully designed by Milk & Bone.”
In a world where musicians, artists, and creatives are increasingly finding their platforms and livelihoods at risk of being stripped away from them, HAWXX‘s fearlessness only fuels their mission to give a voice to the voiceless in the face of adversity. ‘Feral Mother’ closely follows previous singles ‘Macho Bullshit’ and the politically-charged ‘Resistance Is Justified’, a track that documents the arrest and detainment of The Filton 24, including Annouli’s close friend Jordan. What sets HAWXX apart from their peers is that they’re proactive about their beliefs, which saw Annouli perform ‘Resistance Is Justified’ outside the courthouse in amongst other protesters fighting, marching, and showing support for Palestine.
