HeKz are delighted to be raising the bar for progressive metal with the announcement of Qisma - their fifth studio album, set to redefine what’s possible in the genre.

Qisma - an evocative Arabic word meaning fate, destiny or divine will - captures HeKz at their most fearless and inventive. Visionary bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Matt Young has created what he calls his “boldest artistic statement to date”, an album designed to captivate prog devotees and welcome newcomers alike into HeKz’s richly textured sonic landscape.​

Presented as a double album, Qisma features guest contributions from prog rock royalty:

​John Mitchell (Frost*, Asia, Lonely Robot, Arena) - vocals, co-production, mixing and mastering Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson, Trifecta, Jane Getter) - keyboards Mark Bogert (Knight Area, Magoria) - guitar Moyano el Buffalo (King Lizard, Diamond Black) - percussion
