Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto Delivers First Vocal Recording in 25 Years on Evil Island Song “T-Hexx”: Stream

Guy Picciotto, a former member of the influential punk rock band Fugazi, has made a surprise return to vocal recording after a 25-year hiatus with his contribution to the song "T-Hexx" on the supergroup Evil Island's debut album, Terraform: The Afterlife. The album, produced by Ross Robinson, includes contributions from fellow Blood Brothers members Johnny Whitney, Cody Votolato, and Mark Gajadhar, as well as Autry Fulbright and Todd Weinstock.

Picciotto, who co-vocalized with Fugazi frontman Ian MacKaye, expressed his excitement about joining the project, stating that his admiration for the band and its members motivated him to participate despite his lack of singing since Fugazi's final album, The Argument, in 2001. He further praised the song, describing it as a "unique needle between total ferocity and utter infectiousness," and credited producer Ross Robinson for helping him overcome any nervousness about returning to singing after such a long time.

Evil Island member Johnny Whitney, a longtime admirer of Picciotto, expressed his delight at having the legendary singer-songwriter contribute to the track, saying it felt like an "out-of-body experience" upon hearing Picciotto's voice alongside his own. The chorus of "T-Hexx" features backing vocals from Lis Di Angelo and Kaila "KT" Thompson.

Other notable guests on the album include Sleigh Bells frontwoman Alexis Krauss on "Melted Heart," XCOMM guitarist Michael Gatto on "Termantrixx," and The Blood Brothers' Jordan Blilie on "I Bought a Spell." The video for "T-Hexx" is now available, and the full album, Terraform: The Afterlife, can be ordered through the provided link.
