Consisting of G.E. Witchfynde (vocals and bass), Diego Mur (guitar) and Tony P.S. (drums), Hellk\u2019t SS are an obscure band that plies its unholy trade by skimming the surface of black, speed n\u2019 thrash metal influences like Venom, Mercyful Fate, Bulldozer, Mot\u00f6rhead, old Slayer<\/a>, Death SS, Hellhammer\u2026 you know the score.<\/p>\n

These Mexicans pride themselves in being obscure, parading the streets only by night to ravage the souls of the sleeping. The soundtrack they create is full of punky gang chants, nasty, raw spits and a rather catchy yet oily brand of metal that possesses your body and leaves you covered in your own sick.<\/p>\n

This is truly fiendish stuff that unravels like the mighty black, oily coils of a great mythical snake holed up in some putrid citadel. There\u2019s variety here too though. From the doomy dungeon riffs to hyper, lo-fi basement speed metal which harken back to Voivod\u2019s original caustic clank, in just 13-minutes Hellk\u2019t SS offers up so much primordial tumult that it has prompted me to try to fit into my old, dusty leather jacket and throw some spikes around my wrist.<\/p>\n

All four tracks \u2013 \u2018The Oath\u2019, \u2018Violet Flames\u2019, \u2018The Night Of The Goat\u2019 and \u2018Hellk\u2019t SS\u2019 \u2013 are simple, hellish metal for dark, lonely nights in the pentagram. Everything about this just reeks of decay and devilish gloominess, even when those solos hail like the howls of wind and the percussion bangs like a rusty cellar door caught by the demonic wind.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s clear is that there will always be rank, rancid metal like this floating about like graven fumes, and there\u2019s always a need for it when it\u2019s done so ghastly and authentic as this. Ratty, scrappy, yappy and rusty, Obscuro Heavy Metal<\/em> revels in its own underground atmosphere like a rabid dog feasting on the bones of its owner.<\/p>\n
