This promo was a nice little surprise for me. I’ve never heard anything from this Italian band. The info-sheet says that the band was formed, or better spit out of hell in 1998. Drummer Caio is also playing with his other band Strange Corner and Ale, the bass player toured in 1997 with his old band Snowfall. The HELL DWELLERS are influenced by the classic stuff (Sabbath, early-Misfits, Stooges, Saint Vitus, Blue Cheer etc.), and so they’ve decided to play for the sake of loud heavy music. They’ve received a great response in the local underground club circuits and so the HELL DWELLERS recorded this demo in June 2001 and mixed it in December 2001.
The above mentioned influences are shining through all three songs. Theres an early-Misfits vibe in “Voted to Hell” and “Push-O-Rama”, while the opener “Baghdad” is a heavy mid-tempo crusher. Especially singer Fede sounds on all tracks as the small son of J. Garcia and a young G. Danzig. At the first listening I’ve got my problems with the rough 4-track production, but in some way it underlines the morbid and heavy character of the HELL DWELLERS. Maybe I would call it heavy psychedelic horror r’n’r if I must.


Directly from the inferno of the Italian underground, with a three-track demo of roaring stoner rock, the Vicentini Hell Dwellers arrive . Music quartet musically prepared that will delight those who (as myself) grew up listening to the seminal lesson of the proto punk sound of Stooges and Mc5 .

A reinterpretation in a hallucinatory key, that from those pioneer formations of the end of the 60’s, is ideally ferried towards those who have taken the baton in more recent times. The hardcore edginess ( Black Flag ) and the fuzz desert guitar ( Kyuss ) are the salient aspects of the tris sonore dropped by Fede, Cristiano, Ale (with a past in the Snowfall and a present in the 74 Noisy Quartet ) and Caio ( Strange Corner). “Baghdad” opens directly, testifying that you can make great music even with a genre that unfortunately is still niche, while “Push-o-rama” is the most successful piece especially when Cristiano’s guitar starts in a trip without a return. The final “Voted to hell” seems to have come out not from the Basement Studio in Vicenza but from a disrepute New York club, with the yellowed photos of Stiv Bators and his Dead Boys on the walls .

A trip to hell with a one-way ticket!
