Birthed in the bohemian enclave and epicentre of strange vibrations that is Calderdale in West Yorkshire, the story of 'Hexen Valley' began in summer 2021 when a new formation of Gnod came together in a co-op house at the 200-year-old Nutclough Tavern. As always, the line-up of the collective shifted and morphed to fit circumstances, and soon they embarked on intensive jamming that was eventually captured by Sam Greenwood in Hebden Bridge Underground studios.
