HELL THEATER Issue Lyric Video For New Track ‘Dressed In Black’
October 17th, 2022
Treviso, Veneto, Italy-based horror metal band Hell Theater have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Dressed In Black’, which can be viewed below.
Hell Theater issue second full-length studio album S’Accabadora on October 28th, 2022 through Wormholedeath.
A teaser for S’Accabadora can be accessed below.
“It’s a concept album, a unique story in 11 tracks (chapters) lasting about 60 minutes,” Hell Theater commented. “The story is based on a traditional Sardinian figure, the ‘female Accabadora’ or ‘she who ends’, who really existed in the past and perhaps still exists in very rural areas, to whom magical gifts were attributed, a sort of witch dressed in black. Her role was to put an end to the suffering of dying and terminally ill old people, out of pity, at the request of relatives, by striking a blow on the back of the head with a special ‘Mazzolu’ hammer (see the cover of ‘A Strange Death’). Sometimes, however, the relatives for her sake tricked the Accabadora, and then she unleashed her curses. This is the first time that a similar story has been told in a metal album.
“S’Accabadora is certainly not a first listen album, nor was the previous Reincarnation Of Evil album (2012). It is certainly a very complex work full of surprises, made to leave its mark and last in time. The band thus marks a good step forward and confirms their creative drive and not wanting to conform to any musical genre but rather wanting to contribute to enriching the metal scene and raising their own way of conceiving the horror metal.”
Guh Lu provided bass parts for S’Accabadora.
