North Carolina-based black thrash trio ALL HELL is preparing to unleash their anticipated The Grave Alchemist full-length via Prosthetic Records. Set for official unveiling this Friday, the record is a twelve-track, narrative-driven, horror-based concept album that weaves a tale of alchemy, necromancy, and vampirism over the span of three centuries.
In advance of its release, the band is currently streaming the record in full via their Bandcamp page RIGHT HERE.
You can also view the band’s videos for “Laid To Unrest,” initially premiered by BrooklynVegan, “Vampiric Lust,” as seen on No Clean Singing, and “I Am The Mist,” initially debuted by Decibel Magazine below:
ALL HELL‘s The Grave Alchemist is a compelling fusion of violence, mysticism, psychology, and the occult, distilled into an aural elixir of Blood and Gold. Captured by Kris Hilbert (The Body) and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust), the record will see worldwide release via Prosthetic Records April 14th on CD, LP, and digital formats.

In a recent 9.5/10 review, Metal Assault hails, “a fantastic concoction of thrash/punk magic with a strong flavoring of early black metal for good measure,” adding of ALL HELL, “at heart, they are a punk band, yet the flavors they mix with their base sound raises them to something much greater…” In a 4/5 rating, Seat Of Tranquility dubs the band, “crust that boogies,” further elaborating, “the band has a solid reputation for writing songs that blend their punk roots with… crust and thrash metal. If that sounds familiar, don’t let it fool you. ALL HELL has a style all its own and they play music that somehow manages to be heavy, playful, and catchy.” No Clean Singing calls ALL HELL, “…meaner than a famished wolf pack who’ve just caught the scent of prey,” while BroooklynVegan notes, “If Motörhead and The Stooges ever recorded a song together, and then Bathory covered it, it might sound something like this.”
ALL HELL will take to the streets later this month a short run of live dates this with additional live incursions in the plotting stages.

Spawned in the dark hills of Asheville, North Carolina in 2013 and influenced by a wide array of genres from punk to thrash to “first wave” black metal to ’80s deathrock and beyond, ALL HELL has relentlessly churned out their Stygian works while spreading their volatile live show to eager audiences.
ALL HELL self-released their debut, The Devil’s Work, in 2014 and played with bands such as 1349, Black Tusk, Ghoul, and labelmates, Skeletonwitch. A year later, ALL HELL released their second offering, The Red Sect, which was released through HPGD Productions. Prosthetic Records soon signed the band and reissued the album on LP and CD worldwide. ALL HELL hit the road in support of that album, sharing the stage with the likes of Venom Inc., Toxic Holocaust, Lord Dying, Ramming Speed, Horrendous, and many more.
With the release of The Grave Alchemist, ALL HELL has expanded their sound while infusing different elements to create a unique blend all their own. Fans of Bathory, Celtic Frost, Samhain, Satyricon, Skeletonwitch, Goatwhore, Toxic Holocaust and the like, pay heed.
