HIDE 'Hell is Here'

HIDE's second full-length album, 'Hell is Here', takes their music even further, presenting a sick and heavy tone. The duo, Gabel and Sher, build on their established style of complex drum programming, stomach-churning sub-bass, and aggressive vocals, pushing boundaries by exploring feelings of anxiety, pain, and discomfort as integral parts of the human experience. These emotions are just as important as resolution, and the album forces listeners to confront them.

A standout aspect of 'Hell is Here' is the contrast between the abrasive and the sterile. Beneath the crushing noise, Gabel's vocals emerge, delivering raw, human emotion that provides narrative depth to the intense sonic assault. This album is the culmination of HIDE’s vision of self-governance, reflecting their commitment to confronting life's darkest truths and tackling the subjects that are often left unspoken. It stands as their most powerful, confrontational, and uncompromising work to date.
