HESSIAN Hessian traces back to 2002, when Wade's project was recorded under the name Madame Durant. It became Utuk Xul Commands Worship in 2004 and went inactive, then returned in 2014 playing hardcore street punk. By 2016, the project had shifted back into extreme metal, recording collaboratively under the Hessian name. Hessian signed to Wormholedeath and released a self-titled album in January 2025, with Brandon Floyd on vocals (now running the solo DSBM project Nyvrosk), Wade on guitar, and Noctem on drums. Since the self-titled album, Wade has run Hessian with a rotating cast of guest musicians from release to release: Frostmorner, also signed to Wormholedeath, on the single "Goetic Altars of Obsidian"; Thoth, of Thoth Nemesis and Internment, on the EP "Sworn to the Kult"; Frostmorner, Thoth, Crotalos of Gomold, and Dromo' together on the EP "Celebrants of the Lunar Blood"; and, on the split EP "Primitive Adorations" with Death Invoker, Wade himself on vocals alongside drummer Wrath of Nunslaughter and Beelzebub Slaughter of Murder Records on the opening track. On "Rapture and Perversion," Wade returns to vocals and guitar, with Noctem back on drums. YHWH YHWH is a Belgian/Thai occult black metal band formed in 2024 by brother and sister Schem HaMephorash and C. Bones, and S.M. Goatritual arrived in June 2024. S.M. Goat Ritual joined the band in June [YEAR TO CONFIRM]. YHWH released its debut EP, "Tetragrammaton," through Wormholedeath in April 2025, followed by a second EP, "Khatha," later that year.
