Formed in 2009 by guitarist Jari, Helslave are a Rome-based death metal band taking their influences from the 1990s Swedish (melo-)death scene, crafting a perfect mix of brutality and melody. After releasing a demo and two EPs, their first full length album, An Endless Path (on Revalve Records), saw the light on CD in 2015 and got raving reviews by the metal underground press. The second album from the band, From The Sulphur Depths (mixed and mastered by Swedish metal-wizard Dan Swano), came out in 2021 via Pulverised Records, and this album also received enthusiastic reviews from fans and critics. These Italian youngsters play their music like it’s the thing they need to do to survive; it’s energetic and powerful - this is melodic death metal as it is supposed to be. The much praised debut album was never released on vinyl, so Doc Records present this gem in three different LP versions - Clear Smoked, Dark Hell Marbled and black vinyl. For fans of Children Of Bodom, At The Gates, Scar Symmetry, Edge Of Sanity, In Flames, Callenish Circle, Dark Tranquillity.
