0This is Hell Stream New Song and It’s Bitchin
Long Island has given us more than that strip club Gossip if you can believe it. Thrash metal band This is Hell have been busy on the island working on their upcoming release, The Enforcer. The band just debuted a stream to the title track and oh my fuck is it awesome. If the crowd isn’t circle pitting to this chorus, then I would check them for a pulse.
The single is being released on a 7″ that is limited to 500 copies (300 red, 200 clear). You can pre-order is today via I Surrender Records and anything left will be available for sale in select record stores or at their shows.
Pre-order that shit
Head to Revolver to check it out or check out the embedded video below:
Guitarist Rick Jimenez says:
“We continuously evolve as a band and THE ENFORCER is just another step in that evolution. These songs push the boundaries of what we’ve done before just as BLACK MASS did and WEIGHT OF THE WORLD before that. The riffing is on a level we haven’t been to yet, and this is just the beginning for us.
Every record we do is different from the last. THE ENFORCER has different vocal approaches, different song writing structures, guitar techniques, etc than anything prior for This is Hell.”
Tracklisting:
Side A:
The Enforcer
Walking Abominations
Side B:
Flag of the Serpent
Whiplash (Metallica cover)*
*only available on the physical release
When asked why the Metallica cover, Jimenez said “for good measure… who doesn’t wanna wind up with a bit of Whiplash after a gig?”
