HELL BENT • Apocalyptic Lamentations LP (2019)
This is some raw as fuck hardcore punk disguised as metal. It rarely slows down and has elements of crust, D beat, traditional metal, thrash, black metal (at times)… I think it’s safe to just call this poor man’s metal or some type of crossover. It’s like a lot of the stuff that I heard in the 80s and didn’t really get right away due to rawness and production. Well, I get it now. This will resinate well with fans of extreme metal music for sure. My favorite song on this was the slower one called “Ichthyosis” (track three). It reminded me of Destructor. Dudes cover a Znowhite tune as well.
I hope these Rhode Island freaks keep at it putting out more records and playing some shows in NJ near me. The band features members of Dropdead, and Ulcer. I’m pretty glad I got this one on wax. Great cover art as well. (NW)
