The sophomore issue of Deserts of Hex, the crepuscular music journal edited by Hunter Ginn and Thomas Nul, entitled Bold Thrones/Desperate Swords, is now available exclusively through the Radical Research webstore.

Helmed by the aforementioned editorial team, as well as Paul Stolp, Forrest Pitts, Jeff Wagner, and Ryan Madson (also responsible for the journal’s brutalist design scheme), Bold Thrones features pieces on the David Lynch/Angelo Badalamenti partnership; Scott Walker’s final missive, Bish Bosch; converations with Obsequiae and Majesties lynchpin, Tanner Anderson and Incantation’s John McIntee; a past- and future-denying music manifesto; and a 42-page cave-dwell through the dire world of France’s Deathspell Omega.
