Music reviews of Hellfire HymnsMusic Review: Darkest of all their albums
Having bought and listened to all of the TPB albums, I have to say that this one has the darkest overall feel of all of them. True, "The Plague" may have a heavier sound and be more intense, but "Hellfire Hymns" has more of the old-time, evil, dark sound that TPB are known for. No glimmers of hope here, this is all depressing, "Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God" type music. The dark mood is set right from the get-go with "Dust Storm". The pulsating organ part beneath the almost reggae-style banjo upstrokes creates a sense of dreadful anticipation that continues with the rest of the album. As if the fire and brimstone lyrics weren't enough to put the fear of Hell in you, the traditional song "The Hellbound Train" even receives special treatment with a crackling-fire sound effect! The song "In the Backwoods" is probably the most demented, evil, song that I have ever heard. Having said that, it is a masterpiece. A guy who cut out his dog's eyes because he thought he was staring at him, and cut off his girlfriend's legs so she wouldn't leave him? Top that, death-metal guys! The album closes out with the post-apocalyptic-sounding "Everything Is Gone". You're almost glad that everything is gone after the taste of Hell that TPB have given you. Twisted, scary, dark, evil....this album is all of the above and more. It's also a work of art. A dark one, but a work of art, nonetheless.
