Heavy Southern Stoner Devil Metal HELLFIRE 76 Shares Music Video "The Omen" Off New Album "Rags to Rage" Out End of Nov 2024
Taboo lyrics served over blues-infected grooves! This is the unique blend of sounds that HELLFIRE 76 brings to the table. With influences ranging from ZZ Top, Killing Joke, and Kyuss to the Melvins, HELLFIRE 76 delivers a sound sure to satisfy doom, stoner, and psych rock fans alike!
Formed by founding members Von Bury (formerly of the Southern Gothic act LOVESUCKER and the Occult Rock act and Napalm Recording artist BLOODY HAMMERS) and Mike McGuiness (formerly of the Industrial Metal act FACE THE WORLD), HELLFIRE 76 set out to create a brand of Heavy Southern Stoner Devil Metal that has been missing for quite some time.
All killer-no filler, this two-piece brings 110% to their first full-length "Rags To Rage" due out at the end of November 2024. The overall theme of this album is dark, taboo, spooky, tongue-in-cheek, fuzzed-out southern metal. Von Bury explains further:
“The album RAGS TO RAGE is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener's interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities. We want to take the listeners on a dark and ominous journey into a place they don’t normally think about."
To give the first glimpse into the album, HELLFIRE 76 is sharing their new music video for the first single "The Omen".
"We wanted to have a song on the album (last track specifically) that we wouldn’t really play live as there are Organ sounds and whatnot that we can’t replicate live. I wanted a closer on the record in the vein of No Quarter, something that has a completely different vibe from the rest of the album," adds Von Bury.

For fans of Melvins, Clutch, Killing Joke, and Fu Manchu, "Rags To Rage" is due out on November 29, 2024.

"Drink the concoction prepared by the band, a cocktail of blood riffs, genuine rhythms and distorted vocals that you can find in the dirtiest pubs in New Orleans! Fans of Kyuss, ZZ Top, Killing Joke, The Melvins and Clutch will be thrilled!" - Heavy Mag
"In the radius of bituminous rhythms, nevertheless animated by a Rock energy, we frankly opt more for cousinage with CLUTCH, a formation that has always been able to evolve between thickness, melody and conciseness. With, as a bonus, these hints of greasy and oily Blues which inject a kind of groove and sap within a Metal which should not silence or ignore its affinities with the severe and groovy Metal proper to Pantera." - Integral Metal
"Hellfire 76 comes at you hard and heavy and without mercy." - Doomed Nation
"Hellfire 76, A duo devoted to rampaging Stoner-Doom-Psych-Metal, which swings to dense blues licks that suggest a Triceratops mating with a Sherman Tank!" - Q C Nerve
The Hellfire 76 use the masks of voodoo, witchcraft, the occult and tarot cards to tell us stories of how Evil has taken over our world, ruled by liars, impostors and careerists. People are flooded with a river of lies, perpetrated by governments and the Church, which obscure our view of the Truth." - Progressive Rock Journal
