Description
Hellish View return with a new line up and fresh energy.
Krow, the constant force in the band and singer/ guitarist, is joined by Emily (Varix) and BB Jack.
Here’s a taste of what’s to come… 11 raw and raging tracks of Disclose inspired punk.
Our take: Minneapoliss Hellish View has undergone some lineup changes since the last time we heard from them. Maybe thats why theyve demoted themselves to demo status, or maybe they just dont want to deal with the insane wait times for vinyl these days. Either way, Hellish Views sound hasnt changed much since their last few records. They still unapologetically worship Disclose, to the point of sounding almost exactly like them. Id like to think I know my d-beat, but Im not sure I could distinguish Hellish View from Disclose on a blind listen. Of course, Hellish Views allegiance to Discloses template will be a plus for some and a minus for others. If you already have enough records in your collection that look and sound pretty much exactly like this, I dont see anything here convincing you to change your mind. On the other hand, I cant help but rage out when Im blasting this. Its not some off-brand poseur shit it gets me going just as much as any of my Disclose records. Like Disclose, Hellish View isnt trying to be anything they arent, even adopting Discloses habit of leaning into their intertextuality by weaving bits from Discharge (and Disclose) songs into their own compositions. Post-modern conceptual art? Dumb punk? You can decide; Ill just keep listening.
