BIOGRAPHY
Hex Evans (they/them)—aka VOIDXWITCH—is a queer, Montreal-based artist creating emotionally devastating, uncomfortably erotic, and deeply personal redemption music. Their highly unique blend of musical genres—including alternative pop, witch house, musical theatre, and 2000’s dance music—explores complex subjects close to their heart, such as sexuality, mental health, and survival. These themes, sometimes very dark, are counterbalanced by a persistent gallows humour, an irreverent attitude, as well as driving, life-affirming dance beats.
In 2023, they released their debut 8-track EP, ECSTASY IN DARKNESS. Created with deep intent, they consider this EP an initiation project of personal healing and creative rebirth. Blending punchy vocals with aggressive and melodic synths and samples gathered around the lunar cycles, each track is an emotional, soul-searching journey—dark, intense, angry, despairing, obscene—that transmutes private pain via music- and dance-induced ecstatic states of immense joy and sorrow. Accompanying this release was a music video for their song KILL THE PAIN, which collides spaghetti western aesthetics with Y2K rave energy—all in one beautifully bizarre electropop danse macabre.
In 2024 they released their single BEAST OF THE BLACK HILL, a supernatural revenge song inspired by folk legends of the Barghest, or spectral hounds of ill omen and death, and their personal experiences of childhood trauma. Once again defying genre, this track is a complex blend of alternative dance music, dark pop, and horror musical theatre with rock opera tones. The music video—moody, frantic, theatrical, and confrontational—was filmed in stunning remote locations of personal significance and sees Hex transform into their own personal beast of vengeance.
2025 started off with a bang with the release of BITCH ON BITCHa furious alt-pop track featuring spoken and melodic vocals over high-octane electronics and club-style beats. The music video, filmed in a pro wrestling ring, amassed 50k streams in its first month. The follow-up single, SUFFER PUPPET, a twisted electro-goth-pop anthem, was released on April 1, 2025. As a condemning satire of the fetishization and exploitation of alternative folks and those living with trauma and mental illness, Hex does not hold back in their bold confrontation, turning the weapon back against the perpetrator. The full music video for SUFFER PUPPET—their most ambitious audio-visual project to date—was released on April 29.
They continue to make music on a never-ending quest of self-transformation, which is inextricably linked to their growth as an artist. Simmering beneath the surface of all this are practices of witchcraft and magic, which Hex utilizes in various stages of their creative process as a means of reclaiming agency, power, dignity, and interconnectedness. The results of this largely intuitive process are surprising and illuminating, forever unfolding as their project develops.

PRESS QUOTES
ELEKTRO VOX on BITCH ON BITCH, Interview + Mini Single Review:
“Bitch on Bitch is a 'fuck around and find out' anthem of spicy Electro-Goth fury . . . Fierce, proud, unapologetic, and packed with fun, Bitch on Bitch is a great little niche of alternative music that isn't explored anywhere as much as it should be with its melodic spoken tones against an energetic electro background. All that to say.. It's bloody brilliant!”
MUTANT ZONES on ECSTASY IN DARKNESS EP:
“a brutally honest and retrospective foray into the world of pain, anger and sadness translated through dark electronic music . . . a brooding take on witchhouse interwoven with elements of industrial, goth and electro-pop. Anyone fond of last year's LP from Alice Glass will love the honesty here, while fans of mainstream witch-house that doesn't sound like it was hastily produced according to Wikipedia recipe will love the rich compositions. The closing track "Requiem For The Night" is simply fantastic, dancefloor killer for all the vampires and werewolves.”
ELEKTRO VOX on ECSTASY IN DARKNESS EP:
“VOIDXWITCH is difficult to quantify. There are a lot of styles on offer in this EP. From one moment I am reminded of SKYND, the next Cradle Of Filth, the next Jazmin Bean, and then Emilie Autumn. There's a lot here to enjoy and I really like all of it.”
