One of many many issues we love about Asheville, NC trio All Hell is which you can’t actually pin them right down to a sound, like they’re a [insert metal subgenre] band. And the title observe from their fifth full size Sunsetter affords the proper illustration. “Sunsetter” kicks in with what sounds to those ears like a gnarled riff that Nirvana may need stumbled throughout circa Bleach (keep in mind drummer Chad Channing really used double bass on that album). It’s easy, mid-paced and simply sort of ugly. All Hell swirls in just a little black steel magic and the vocal croaks of guitarist/vocalist Jacob Curwen are extra Celtic Frost than Cobain, however the total sensibility is analogous. As for the video—filmed and directed by Vizions of Mize—we get corpse-painted efficiency footage of Curwen, Erik Ballantyne (bass) and Elanti (drums) combined with different occultic/non secular/graveyard imagery, all very darkish and mysterious.
Sunsetter was recorded, combined and engineered by Chris Adams at Hidden Audio, with mastering by Jacob Curwen. It’s set for launch on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally on October 10 through Terminus Hate Metropolis. Place your preorder right here.
Curwen had this to say in regards to the new video and tune:
“The title observe from Sunsetter was written late within the technique of the album, however as quickly as we performed it collectively, we knew we had one thing particular. Lyrically, it encapsulates the themes of the file; the key of a darkish inheritance, the battle of the traditional with the Different, and the claiming of the evening. A visitor look by our longtime pal and co-conspirator Nate Garnette (Skeletonwitch) sealed the deal and took this tune to the following stage for us. We’re happy to share the video with everybody, and really feel the visuals are a powerful complement to the tune itself.”
