TOTAL HELL - Killed by Evil LP
Total Punk
Emerging from their vile tomb once again, Total Hell has risen and
conjured their debut LP “Killed by Evil”- a perfect amalgamation of
demonic metal and raw, prodding punk. With “Killed By Evil”, this band
of twisted rippers featuring New Orleans elites Drew Owen (Sick
Thoughts), John Henry (Static Static), Michael Hohan (Trampoline Team),
and Panzer (Persuaders/ Tirefire) tap even deeper into the sullen world
of brutal 80’s metal and hardcore. On “Killed By Evil”, Total Hell
masterfully references the sounds of bands like Venom, John Carpenter,
Slayer, and Discharge, while creating their own cursed, singular vibe.
On tracks like “Demonized” and “Nuclear Satanic Warfare”, Total Hell
taps into warped, proto-metal landscapes accessing dark, ruthless
shredding and pummeling d-beat… While on the “Intro” and “Outro” tracks,
the band takes the listener on a demented, atmospheric odyssey with
synthesized soundscapes and psychedelic space guitar tangles. The
album’s arrangement is deeply intentional and conceptual glued together
with devilish samples and glitchy, synthesized transitions, all while
astral projecting hellish nightmares into the listeners feeble minds
with their wicked and unhinged lyrics . Run for your life, fuckers…
Total Hell and “Killed By Evil” are here to blow your putrid mind and
bludgeon you beyond recognition with endless, unmerciful riffing.
