Against the backdrop of Norway\u2019s notorious black metal scene, HEX follows three young women (Nikoline, Victoria, and Johanna) as they form Witch Club Satan without knowing how to play a single instrument. Over the next three years, they devote themselves to becoming both witches and musicians, embracing black metal as an outlet for fierce female power. But as the band gathers force, it begins to take on a life of its own, challenging their unity, convictions, and ideas of freedom. Shadowed by the legacy of historical witch trials, the film asks what it means to be a free woman today, and whether witches are still being condemned to silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
