Principality of Hell

Principality of Hell was born out of the subconscious depths of Greek black metal mastermind The Magus (Necromantia, Thou Art Lord et. Al.) in 2013. Fellow conspirators El (Soulskinner) and Maelstorm (Ravencult) completed the unholy trinity.

This band has one aim, and one aim only: to revive the old black/thrash spirit of the early/mid 1980s of the mighty Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Sodom, and Voivod... pure diabolical metal music! The first fruits of this unholy union shall be a 4-way split shared with other leading bands from the Greek black metal scene, and to be soon followed by Principality of Hell's debut album. Release dates, tracklistings, and covers to be announced shortly.

Do you feel Fire & Brimstone? That's the sound of PRINCIPALITY OF HELL's debut album, burning with power from Hell and emitting sacrilegious smoke. It's an album that has one - and ONLY one - aim: to revive the old black/thrash spirit of the early/mid '80s, when legends like Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Sodom, and Voivod stalked the earth. On paper, it sounds like an idea that's been wrung dry, but it's an idea that takes on especial gravitas coming from black metal scene veterans - namely Greece's legendary The Magus, who's wielded wide influence upon the black metal scene since the early '90s with Necromantia and Thou Art Lord. Joining him here on PRINCIPALITY OF HELL's Fire & Brimstone are fellow conspirators El (Soulskinner, Thou Art Lord) and J. Maelstrom (Ravencult, Thou Art Lord), and together they create a rowdy, galloping ride through blackthrash's darkest past. And yet, each song (including a classic early Exodus cover) remains varied from the next, with each deadly strike lodging immediately within the cranium. With Fire & Brimstone, expect no more or no less: PURE FUCKING BLACK METAL the old-school way! (Nathan T. Birk)
