Dying Victims Productions proudly announces the third album from HELLCRASH

Whereas its predecessor took various routes – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – Inferno Crematörio sees a streamlining of their songcraft and a “deftening” of sensibilities, where energy is retained and even doubled through more dynamic playing and indeed an emphasis on dynamics itself. By and large, HELLCRASH here sound their most blackened, but “blackened” in the sense of evil thrash and speed metal imbued with more atmosphere: not “spooky” in the kooky sense, but definitely more sulfurous and sinful, brimming with a sense of space that sounds huge and intimate simultaneously. Likewise, the trio exhibit a newfound charisma that (spit)shines through this sulfurous surge, like Satan laughing as he spreads his wings. That everything’s not 666% overdrive all the time ably benefits these ten tracks – and concluding with 10-minute(!) epic in “Templars’ Curse” – resulting in a more thoroughly headbanging, maybe-medieval, and immediately memorable listen. And, truth be told, perhaps HELLCRASH’s best record yet…but only time will tell.

In the meantime, maniacs for such ‘90s icons like Zemial and Germany’s Desaster or especially such esteemed labelmates as NOCTURNAL, BLACKEVIL, and HEXECUTOR, you’re hereby commanded to reap the hellish bounty of HELLCRASH’s Inferno Crematörio!
