Hellish God is an Italian death metal band from Campobasso that was founded in 2015.
history
The band was founded in 2015 by the drummer Luigi Contenti and the guitarist Michele di Ioia. At the beginning of 2016, Mattia de Fazio joined as a singer. In April of that year, the trio went to Toxic Basement Studio , where the four-song EP Impure Spiritual Forces was recorded. The EP was released on Lord of the Flies Records in June . The late Rebaelliun guitarist Fabiano Penna can be heard as a guest musician in the song Sharey-Maveth . Stefano Malgaretti joined the line-up as bass player in July 2016, before the group could be seen live for the first time in November. Here she played together with the groups Daemoniac and Into Darkness. In May 2017 she went back to the Toxic Basement Studio to record and mix the ten songs from the debut album. When recording the song Burning the Infidel , Abhorrence guitarist Rangel Arroyo was involved as a guest musician. The album was mastered by Fabio Palombi in the Black Wave Studios in Genoa . After a gig with Angelcorpse in August, the band separated from di Ioia, whereupon he was replaced by Matteo Gresele. Gresele made his live debut with Hellish God in February 2017 performing with Rebaelliun and Pestilence in Milan . The album was released in 2018 under the name The Evil Emanations on Everlasting Spew Records .
style
According to the biography of the band's own Facebook presence, the group was initially influenced by bands like Deicide , Diabolic , Krisiun , Azarath , Rebaelliun and Abhorrence. Sebastian Schilling from Rock Hard wrote in his review of The Evil Emanations that you can hear fast-playing Death Metal that is comparable to that of Rebaelliun, Diabolic, Deicide and Azarath. In addition, it is about timeless and more brutal Death Metal with a “ satanic touch”, stylistically based on US-American genre representatives. One issue later, Schilling summarized that the album was about demonology . In an interview with him, Stefano Malgaretti stated that bands like Diabolic, Deicide, Rebaelliun, Krisiun, Abhorrence, Centurian or Nox and Azarath were among the most important band influences. Justin “Witty City” Wittenmeier from metal-temple.com also reviewed the album and attested it to be fast and wild Old School Death Metal, whereby one often concentrates on the groove . The singing is typically guttural , but still has characteristics of its own.
