There Is More Than One Artist With This Name 1. An Influential Underground Metal Unit From Derbyshire England Occult Rockers Hell Formed In The Early '80s But It Would Be Nearly 30 Years Before They Would Release Their Debut Album.

The Group Went Largely Ignored By Labels And Journalists But They Achieved Cult Status Via Word Of Mouth And Underground Tape Trading. The Band Eventually Inked A Deal With The Aptly Named Belgian Label Mausoleum Records But Two Weeks Prior To Heading Into The Studio To Record Their Debut The Label Went Bankrupt Which Led To The Band Splitting Up And Ultimately To The Tragic 1987 Suicide Of Vocalist/guitarist And Co-Founder Dave Halliday. One Of The Group's Biggest Supporters At The Time Was Then-Aspiring Guitarist Andy Sneap Who Would Go On To Co-Found Thrash Metal Legends Sabbat And Eventually Become A Grammy-Winning Producer. In 2008 The Original Members Of Hell Tony Speakman Bass Kev Bower Guitar/keys And Tim Bowler Drums Contacted Sneap About Re-Recording The Group's Old Material In Conjunction With The Upcoming Release Of The Original Demos. Sneap Agreed And Soon Served As Both The Producer And Guitar Player For The Band With David Bower A Notable Television And Stage Actor As Well As The Brother Of Guitarist Kev Bower Taking Over Vocal Duties. The Resulting Human Remains Arrived Via Nuclear Blast In 2011 Followed By A Run Of High-Profile Festival Shows. Hell Released Their Sophomore Studio Album Curse And Chapter In 2013. The Band Returned In 2018 With An Eponymous Third Long Player Which Was Released Via Sentient Ruin Laboratories. ~ James Christopher Monger 2.
