Hellcrash

Hellcrash is a black/speed metal band from Italy. And the album Inferno Crematörio is not their first on the road to blasphemy. Yes , we talk about Venom, NWOBHM, and a touch of Motörhead. Hellcrash has been around since 2013, and those guys could not care less about trends in metal. They do their own 80s brew , and if you don't like it, good. If you do, good. It's really fun to listen to a band that has that early Venom attitude. Hellcrash will not start a new genre , like Venom did... but they keep the genre alive. But enough talk , let's get into Inferno Crematörio.

"Flames of Hades" is the first track, an instrumental short track , to get you in the right mood, I guess. The title track, "Inferno Crematörio," has a lot of speed, and the riffs are tight. And the strength with this band is that they are able to hold melodies into it all. Just like Motörhead and their Iron Fist. I will not go track by track here; just take the ones that stand out. "Purgatory Raiders" is one of those tracks; it has some rhythm changes and is both fast and heavy. Tracks like this , give you a good idea , what the the musicans in the band can do. It's an odd track , but it works so well. And the 80s sound can really be heard here. "Sword of Baphomet" also has the same thing going on. The foundation is, of course, black speed metal. But just like the 80s speed metal, there is room for some heavy metal.
There is so much Venom and early Motörhead energy on this album; "Rapid Possession" is like a statement of that. But this band is not a copycat; they have their own thing going on.

"Mark of the Beast" is one of my favorite tracks—straightforward, a fast track , no mercy . The last track on the album "Templar's Curse" is just above the 10-minute mark, and of course ... you can't help it , but Venom's "At War With Satan" comes very close , and 10 minutes goes really fast. Hellcrash is an excellent band , and for all Venom fans out there. This can't be better. It sound like Hellcrash just get in to the studio and record the stuff. But i have a feeling that there is a lot of work behind,keep it so first wave of black metal , and let the heavy metal influences from the same era (yes, you will hear more bands, then i mention here in the music) must be a hard work.
