black midi - Hellfire CD/LP

black midi’s new album "Hellfire" is an absolute bundle of agitated and twisted songs. "Hellfire" builds on the melodic and harmonic elements of "Cavalcade", while expanding the brutality and intensity of their debut, "Schlagenheim". It is their most thematically cohesive and intentional album yet. It is instantly black midi but adds more elements of Zappa and showtunes.

Whereas the stories of "Cavalcade" were told in third person, "Hellfire" is presented in first-person and tells the tales of morally suspect characters. There are direct dramatic monologues, flamboyantly appealing to our degraded sense of right and wrong. You’re never quite sure whether to laugh at or be horrified.
