Founding members Sam Simmons (vocals) and Nick Stambuck (guitar) shared a mutual love for the aggressive sound and genuine nature of heavy metal and forged their sound to share their artistic work through raw energy and intricate musicality that define the genre. Hell Comes Home’s music combines brutal riffs, complex solos, and piercing vocals from the depths of hell, with assertive atmospheric elements.

With a mix of influences ranging from early Bring Me the Horizon and Suicide Silence, to All Shall Perish and Trivium, to Iron Maiden and Megadeth, Hell Comes Home use all of those influences to carve their own niche in metal combining elements of all from those genres. Singles from Dying breed started being released late last year and the bands fanbase has grown massively, thanks also to comments on their stage presence and that they stay true to their genre’s core tenets.

Hell Comes Home have delivered a really strong debut here with Dying Breed. It has a bit of an old school feel to it. Not like traditional metal, but just when metal was less expansive and more about the song. Short, sharp blasts of drums, riffs and vocals that get your adrenaline flowing and your head moving. They have a lot going for them but where they excel here is with the basics. Great vocals, catchy and heavy riffs, strong solos and songs that flow and keep you engaged from the opening note to the last. This is good metal.
