Chad Hexane

Chad Geoffrey Hexane (born December 11, 1987) is an American musician who was the original frontman for the Connecticut-based band, The Blackest of Suns, which was founded by Mikal Greison and himself. Although he was the vocalist at the time, he did not bother penning his own lyrical content (Hexane has admitted via interviews that his lyrical ability is subpar at best), so it made sense to him to let the composer of The Blackest of Suns, Greison, to write them.

Hexane played with the outfit until the Spring of 2009, where he amicably departed mostly due to an inflammation of his vocal chords. He has since contributed to the material of funk metal group, Defamer Maimer, as their lead guitarist and backing vocalist. Arnold Fenix became his replacement, who in turn was succeeded by Markus Fallon.
