Description, by jen
Spawned from My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult in the early 90s, EHC retained the same danceable, sample-heavy style in early albums (Burn, Baby, Burn!, Calling Dr Luv), but have recently made a break with "electro-evil" & veered sharply into full-on death metal. The humour of the early days is reportedly still there, you'll just have to try a bit harder to hear it! |

Satanism enters the electronic genre. Breaking every stereotype of Satanism in music (you must have big metallers who havent washed or shaved, play 6 string guitars by just hitting the strings randomly, and scream down the mike), Rev Thorn rewrites the rules and conjures up an album of early electro-evil, which is just beautiful. The music aint half bad either ;-).
Stand out tracks are Age of Fire, Mr 44, and Psychedelic Sacrifice. My personal choice is The Electric Hellfire Acid Test.

Quite simply, the best Electric Hellfire Club album you could buy if you wanted to see the Early era. With the passing of Shane, this CD marks the end of the old EHC, and the ones to follow all tend towards death metal. Regardless, this is an essential purchase.

Electric Hellfire Club's latest album is a nigh perfect blend of Electro-evil, industrial, and death metal. It hasn't been out of the cd player since I bought it. An album that forces you to listen all the way through it, without skipping a track. Still keeping to the intelligently satanic lyrics, while increasing the humour factor back up. Best track has to be Wired In Blood, but the rest of the album maintains the same high standard.

the electric hellfire club have penned a classic here - every track is good! this is one of those albums that shows that you can be just as (if not more) evil without loud distorted guitars, vocals no-one understands or being of that illusive (and sometimes awful) EBM catagory. listen and be amazed.

Satan's Little Helpers

Mr. 44 is remixed from "Burn, baby, burn", as is Psychedelic Sacrifice. The remixes are always worth it, although they remain eletronic rather than industrial, techno or rave. Electronic dance, with entertainingly Satanic lyrics.
"Baptized in Blood" and "Satan's Little Helpers" (one of my favorite EHC tracks) are new tracks. Baptized in Blood is a beautiful, ambient track, reminding of the ambient industrial tracks of Wumpscut.

A very good remix album. The EHC's sound remixed by various artists/groups, such as Razed In Black and DJ Cykophuk. More dark, more evil and more dancy with its metallic edge. You want any more than that?

HEC's heaviest album. Heavy use of guitars, the album is their first non-electronic album. The album is their most produced, the lyrics are angrier than ever but still contain the EHC mix of glam rock and humour.
Personal favorites are "One Dark Horse", with haunting and powerful statements verging on theological.
The ego-inspiring lyrics, consistently fast guitar and electronic background noise and intelligent Anton Lavey/Occult themes (Monkey's Paw, Dark Horse) insipired lyrics make this my favorite EHC album
