This album is so much fun. Sonically and lyrically, I’ve never heard anything like it.
It sounds just like the cover looks. The guitar playing is so technically amazing while blowing my mind as the vocals just spray all over the track at a tempo that’s so fast it gets my adrenaline pumping.
The story behind the album makes it so much more fun to follow along with, there are so many songs on here with a witty and theatrical twist to the lives of these characters.
The refrain’s are so catchy on Hellfire; I can’t think of any other album as technically advanced, yet as fun and loose as Hellfire. That’s a huge part of it’s charm, with songs like the race is about to begin where he sings faster than Eminem on Rap God or Eat Men Eat which tells the story of a pirate and even speaks in the pirate’s voice.

The experimental/risky black midi album thus far and every risk pays off.
