Only two words are required to describe the alcohol-infused blasphemy that is Total Hell, and that\u2019s \u201cVenom\u201d and \u201cBathory\u201d. The homage here is clear to hear as this New Orleans, Louisiana-based cult worships at a rusty altar constructed of bones, chains and blood.<\/p>\n

Like some demonic clan perched on devilish motorcycles, Total Hell speed from the depths, ploughing through plumes of thick smoke and choking out a variety of commands under titles like \u2018Satanic Fist\u2019, \u2018Nuclear Satanic Warfare\u2019 and \u2018Demonized\u2019. The title cut is about as Venom as it gets; an acidic gallop through Hades led by the spitted vocals and clanking bass and drums. Total Hell are that stubborn speed metal mob that revels in its own primitive demonstrations \u2013 a cloying soot-caked arena stinking of sulphur and wailing with black winds.<\/p>\n

The album drips with a punk attitude as \u2018Satanic Fist\u2019 bounds into view, cast from the flames and spewing oily menace in its brash thrash vigour. You won\u2019t find much variety among the smoking debris, but you will find a furnace of billowing black riffs as \u2018Turn The Cross\u2019, \u2018Unholy Liar\u2019 and the Mot\u00f6rhead-styled \u2018Forgotten Son Of Darkness\u2019 charge headlong like Satan\u2019s minions, wading through beery waters and toxic flooding.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s fun and frolicking to be had here in this Hellfire Club of blasphemous cheese; so anoint with such sinful tirades or forever burn.<\/p>\n
