Prevalent punk/hardcore outlet IDIOTEQ presents an exclusive album stream and track-by-track breakdown of Hello Hell, the second album from Boston-based dissonant noise-punks MIRACLE BLOOD, ahead of its release this Friday on Nefarious Industries.
MIRACLE BLOOD has carved out a reputation for their electrifying live performances, charismatic songwriting, and what has been called “the best scream in the city” by If It’s Too Loud… Since their formation in 2014, the trio – guitarist/vocalist Andrew Wong, bassist Garrett Young, and drummer Anthony Bollitier – has performed incessantly, sharing the stage with bands such as Great Falls, Landowner, and Tree. After several independently released EPs and singles, MIRACLE BLOOD self-released their debut LP Melter in 2022, scoring a Boston Music Award nomination for Rock Artist Of The Year in the process. Melter shows off the group’s one-of-a-kind, genre-bucking take on noise-punk—dissonant, heavy, and chaotic, yet melodic, catchy and playful all at the same time.
Hello Hell shows MIRACLE BLOOD stepping up their game in every way, slamming the listener with ten ripping tracks in under thirty-two minutes, with a sound that is meaner, heavier, and noisier than its predecessor. The record was produced with Alex Allinson at The Bridge Sound & Stage (BEDTIMEMAGIC, The Freqs, Lesotho) and mastered by Brad Boatright (The Armed, Sleep, Nails). The record features guests from Sapling and BEDTIMEMAGIC joining the MIRACLE BLOOD crew on gang vocals, and the record is completed with art and design by guitarist/vocalist Andrew Wong.
Fans of Jesus Lizard, T.S.O.L., Dead Kennedys, Unsane, Big Black, Drive Like Jehu, Child Bite, Pigs, Karp, Agent Orange, Converge, and Everytime I Die require an infusion of MIRACLE BLOOD.

“‘Hello Hell’ is built around an infectious throbbing pulse, menacing at first and then pulverizing, like a bulldozer moving in bursts, accompanied by the pop of knee-capping drums.” – No Clean Singing
