Streaming now! Hellfire 76 turn up the volume with new high octane southern metal album »Rags To Rage«!

Southern metal powerhouse duo Hellfire 76 has now released their first full-length album »Rags To Rage«. The eight-track collection, clocking in at 31 minutes, represents a perfect distillation of the band’s heavy Southern stoner devil metal sound. They delve into a variety of topics from critical examination of dictatorships and religion to personal, relatable experiences. The comment on the record:

“The album is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener’s interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities. We want to take the listeners on a dark and ominous journey into a place they don’t normally think about. Musically, it’s straight up, fuzzed out, uptempo jams, but with the various lyrical topics, it gives the listener a little more to chew on.”

Recorded at Catalyst Recording in Charlotte, NC with producer Rob Tavaglione, »Rags To Rage« draws deeply from the well of Southern Gothic tradition and occult themes. The album showcases the duo’s remarkable ability to create a massive sonic landscape with just two members, featuring Von Bury’s (Lovesucker, Bloody Hammers) multi-instrumental talents (guitar, bass, organ, vocals) alongside Mike McGuiness’s (Face The World) powerful drumming.

The heavy dose of fuzzy, groove-laden rock will appeal to fans of doom, stoner rock, and traditional metal especially those with an interest in Clutch, Killing Joke, and Fu Manchu.
