As one-man bands go, Brazil\u2019s Hell Poison is right up there with the best. Being the creation of one Deathammer, Hell Poison has existed for seven years, and within that time has released a couple of demos, one full-length release (2019\u2019s Burn With Me<\/em>) and been involved in several split projects.<\/p>\n

Now comes the second offering upon the altar and it\u2019s another no frills blitzkrieg of blazing blackened thrash \u2013 the sort of familiar yet pulverising ride that spills beer and guts goats. For just under 30-minutes you\u2019ll get ravaged by a flurry of rusty, rollicking tracks which take the recognisable Mot\u00f6rhead premise of speed n\u2019 bunk mixed with the natural progression of black speed.<\/p>\n

\u2018Monday Lust (May 06th)\u2019 is a straight up nifty spellcaster of speed yet oily melody. Deathammer\u2019s vocals are a no frills rasp amidst the torrents of chain-swinging speed metal, and that\u2019s the theme throughout. \u2018Bloody Tongue\u2019 is Hellhammer with extra haste, \u2018Freddy Is Back\u2019 cackles with slick pride and beams with punky festering, while \u2018Hell\u2019s Basement\u2019 \u2013 based on 80s horror movie Re-Animator<\/em> \u2013 offers an equally snappy design.<\/p>\n

You know you\u2019ve heard this sort of attack before, but you can\u2019t help but be whipped into a frenzy by the steadier pinch of the aforementioned \u2018Freddy Is Back\u2019 or the clanking clamour of \u2018Miles From Nowhere\u2019; the latter probably the fastest and most aggressive slap on the record with its swirling instrumentation, whirlwind percussion and scathing guitars. Indeed, there\u2019s a strong sense of an obscure nature about this thrashing mayhem, Brazil of course being one of the founding nations for such blazing spits of aggression.<\/p>\n

\u2018When The Midnight Bell Rings\u2019 opens atmospherically and trudges in doomy fashion before the fire of the riffs fizz in and it\u2019s back to type. The same goes for \u2018Bite On Your Feet\u2019 with its suspenseful opening hiss and fizzle, but this one feels far more traditional in its design, although again you can hear everything from Mot\u00f6rhead to Voivod, Venom to Bulldozer, and Poison Idea in between as Deathammer spits in spiteful fashion above the chaos and creation of his own scathing, sneering dynamics.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cursed Soul\u2019 brings dollops of metal alongside punky attitude and melody, bringing to a close this blunt, to the point opus that takes the basic themes of punk, black metal and thrash and throws it all into a blender. The result is a no frills yet wiry fusion of familiar styles which should still provide enough bite to keep you engrossed.<\/p>\n
