Hellish War: new album cover revealed

The brazilian classic metal heroes of HELLISH WAR are set to launch their new studio record. Titled Keep It Hellish, the album was produced by Ricardo Piccoli at PiccoliStudio in Biella, Italy, and will mark the premier of HELLISH WAR's new vocalist, Bil Martins, who joined the band in 2012 to replace the old singer, Roger Hammer.


Keep It Hellish is the successor of the high acclaimed Live In Germany (elected by Heavy Metal Brasil one of the all time best brazilian metal live albums) and will bring the tracks "Keep It Hellish", "The Challenge", "Reflects On The Blade", "Fire And Killing", "Scars (Underneath Your Skin)", "Masters Of Wreckage", "Phanton Ship", "The Quest", "Darkness Ride" and "Battle At Sea".

The band now reveals the cover of Keep It Hellish which was once again painted by Eduardo Burato who have already worked with the band on the previous two studio albums, Defender Of Metal (2001) and Heroes Of Tomorrow (2008).


According to  Daniel Person, HELLISH WAR's drummer, the cover perfectly represents the album in the sense that it's an affirmation of the band's style and music identity.
"Keep It Hellish is Hellish War's most heavy, fast and best finished album", says the musician. "The band's identity is intact and this is a heavy metal album from the begining to the end, full of strong choruses - something I really miss on the brazilian heavy metal nowadays - and, of course, this is the premier of Bil Martins which is, in my opinion, one of the five best metal vocalists from Brazil. The cool thing about the album cover is that it represents all these elements when connecting to the band's history - we have the return of Guillis, the same warrior that appears on the cover of our first album, that was also painted by Eduardo Burato."
 
Keep It Hellish will be released in Europe on June, 28th by the german record label Pure Steel Records (Omen, Warrant, Halloween, Cage). In Brazil, the album hits the stores on June, 10th through Voice Music (Angra, Korzus, Torture Squad, Hibria, etc).
 
In October, HELLISH WAR embarks for its second European Tour.
