In 2013 this merry bunch of sadists got together and released a demo entitled Ready To Burn In Hell<\/em>, and two years later a second demo was recorded with the title Heavy Metal Inferno<\/em>. Now, I\u2019m not sure what band members Hellraiser (vocals \/ guitar), Skullcrusher (bass) and Nightkiller (drums) do in between Hellcrash, but they\u2019ve certainly taken a long time releasing this debut platter.<\/p>\n

With an amateurishly cool cover featuring a satanic entity clearly inspired by Slayer<\/a>\u2019s Show No Mercy<\/em><\/a> (1983) and an introduction lifted from classic 80s heavy metal movie Trick Or Treat<\/em>, we are already on the right track for what could be a cult gem when it comes to current releases.<\/p>\n

Hellcrash hails from Italy and their style of metal is very much buried knee-deep in rust, rancid blood, more rust, leather and satanic piss and alcohol. Think Venom, Bathory, old Sodom and Destruction<\/a>, Tank, and of course Mot\u00f6rhead, throw it all into a melting pot, stir with a trident, apply a dash of toad, eye of newt and wing of bat, and dive in to the swamp.<\/p>\n

\u2018Krvcifix Invert\u00f6r\u2019, \u2018Satanic Heresy\u2019, \u2018Raped By Satan\u2019… you get the message \u2013 a toiling cauldron of black speed sickness and fire. What we get is a manic, zipping, reckless, loose n\u2019 lethal punked-up fury straight from the Bathory bathtub of total destruction.<\/p>\n

\u2018Evil Executioner\u2019 is the sort of song I tried to record when I was 14 with my cousin on a shitty guitar and a loo roll tube for added vocal echo! Even so, the simple design is effective as early Voivod is thrown at you amidst a further hail of nuts, bolts and punky pus. Then there\u2019s a heap of Bulldozer to digest, all of course mined from that classic Venom drunken gloom as lyrics are barked in snappy fashion over a mesh of raw, thin choking black fumes.<\/p>\n

Satan is everywhere on this perverse expression. \u2018Hordes Of Satan\u2019 comes with a frenzy of crash n\u2019 smash drums and motorcycle guitar zoom, while \u2018Into The Necropolis\u2019 pukes up further rusty chunks before scampering by on another hoarse vocal spit and speeded up Lemmy bass.<\/p>\n

This is just one big tin can junkyard of a record; a bag of bones, bolts and nails n\u2019 beer cans as the deadly \u2018Alcoholic Brigade\u2019 billows and combusts. And wretched fumes are cast skyward as closer \u2018Mephistopheles\u2019 shits, farts and blows its way to a sorry halt, around 48 minutes after opener \u2018War Against Christ (Satan Or Die)\u2019 mashed our faces with its wiry mesh of cut throat slice n\u2019 dice black thrash. It\u2019s all fast and delivered with the subtlety of a piranha testicle feast \u2013 hacking, stabbing, pinching, tearing and eventually maiming in its bloodlust.<\/p>\n

Despicable from beginning to end, Hellcrash certainly live up to their untidy moniker of mess while seething and snapping at the heels. But while bereft of originality there\u2019s enough toxic fumes here to keep you high on the sounds reverberating below.<\/p>\n
