Black Mass

'Black Mass' sees This Is Hell pushing in a somewhat new direction, the chaotic I don't give a f*&# attitude of their previous albums is still there but this time around they've opted for a more 80s glam metal meets 90s metal/hardcore in a bar and has a fight to the death type sound or as it is more commonly known: crossover thrash.

Categorising 'Black Mass' into a particular genre is near impossible. In certain parts it sounds like a hardcore album, in other parts it sounds like a metal album and in some parts it sounds like a thrash album. It's a powerhouse of many different genres and influences. This Is Hell is probably one of the few bands around today that can successfully pull that kind of sound off. I'm not buying the cross over thrash genre tag, this album feels like so much more than that.
