Old Mother Hell

Old Mother Hell

There is nowhere to hide as a power trio. Musical shortcomings are easily exposed. Chinks in the sonic armor are painfully evident. The common utterance that "A band is only strong as its weakest member" couldnt ring truer. Bands with a high number of members can easily mask its deficiencies - not power trios. Some of metals best threeman outfits -Destruction, Motorhead and Sodom - have the commonality that there is no weak links. The same applies for one of metals most exciting new power trios, Germanys Old Mother Hell. Old Mother Hell was formed in 2015 from the ashes of another local thrash act, Hatchery, by Wener, bassist Ronald Senft and drummer Ruben Andr. The band recorded their self-titled debut album in May 2017 at Rama Studio Mannheim with producer/engineer Jens Siefert at the helm. The albums six songs are smoldering, anthemic bodies of work, as Weners impassioned vocals and simple, yet powerful riffs work in perfect tandem with the Senft/Andr rhythm section. The end result is a striking balance between mountainous epic metal and a straightforward attack, with doom influences present, even as the band is playing pure, take-no-prisoners metal. And to top it all off, Old Mother Hell did things the old-fashioned way: Hammering the songs out in their rehearsal room, then recording them at Rama Studio Mannheim with little overdubs. The bands self-titled debut has already caught fire across Europe, with the album receiving "Demo Of The Month" and "Self-Produced Album Of The Month" in Rock Hard and Deaf Forever magazines, respectively. The positive reception couldnt have come at a better time now that Italys Cruz Del Sur Music is handling the albums exclusive digital,vinyl release and compact disc re-release. But alas, the journey has just begun for Old Mother Hell, who, in their brief existence, has already exceeded their own expectations
