{"product_id":"the-hell-s-t-7-new","title":"The Hell: S\/T 7\" NEW","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSorry State Records (US) and Drunken Sailor Records (UK) present a new self-titled 5-song EP from Cleveland’s the Hell. The four to-the-point rippers on the a-side pick up where the Hell’s 2023 album left off, fusing big riffs (see: “Liabilities” and “Circling the Drain”) with agile rhythmic shifts (“Cut the Chord”) and executing all of it at hardcore tempos. While these tracks have a similar energy to nihilistic punk-on-the-edge-of-hardcore like the Lewd or the Zero Boys, “Dirt Nap,” which occupies the entire b-side, takes the Hell’s sound to new places, soaking in eerie tension for several minutes before erupting into a brilliant, Buzzcocks-esque chiming chorus. Atop it all, the Hell’s vocalist sneers like a weary, middle-aged Darby Crash whose woes have only compounded as life has unfurled. The Hell speaks to the dismay and cynicism we all feel as part of a species in decline, but they also deliver the jolt of energy we need to face another day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cease \u0026 Desist Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44800347439173,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/0172\/2437\/files\/a2695657575_1x1_700.avif?v=1773972602","url":"https:\/\/cease-desist-records.com\/products\/the-hell-s-t-7-new","provider":"Cease \u0026 Desist Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
