HELLFIRE 76 Turn Up The Volume With New High Octane Southern Metal Album “Rags to Rage”
|
|
Southern Metal powerhouse duo Hellfire 76 has now released their first full-length album “Rags to Rage”. The eight-track collection, clocking in at 31 minutes, represents a perfect distillation of the band’s heavy Southern stoner devil metal sound. They delve into a variety of topics from critical examination of dictatorships and religion to personal, relatable experiences. The comment on the record:
“The album is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener’s interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities. We want to take the listeners on a dark and ominous journey into a place they don’t normally think about. Musically, it’s straight up, fuzzed out, uptempo jams, but with the various lyrical topics, it gives the listener a little more to chew on.”
Recorded at Catalyst Recording in Charlotte, NC with producer Rob Tavaglione, “Rags to Rage” draws deeply from the well of Southern Gothic tradition and occult themes. The album showcases the duo’s remarkable ability to create a massive sonic landscape with just two members, featuring Von Bury’s (LOVESUCKER, BLOODY HAMMERS) multi-instrumental talents (guitar, bass, organ, vocals) alongside Mike McGuiness’s (FACE THE WORLD) powerful drumming.
The heavy dose of fuzzy, groove-laden rock will appeal to fans of doom, stoner rock, and traditional metal especially those with an interest in Clutch, Killing Joke, and Fu Manchu.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Hellfire 76 – The Omen (Nov 2, 2024)
“Dark, mysterious, foreboding, yet strangely inviting. This is the latest single (The Omen) from HELLFIRE ‘76, a band that brings together the things you love about heavy music: bold, swinging riffs, gruff manic vocals, crunchy chugging rhythms. “The Omen” has got it all going on, which lyrically “is about how religion uses fear to prey on weak minds to do the dirty work.”” – Doomed and Stoned
“The song (Rags To Rage) is a major rager perfect for a road-trip playlist!” – Ghost Cult Magazine
“The BLISTERING new album “Rags To Rage” from Hellfire 76 is waiting to be unleashed to the masses on Nov. 29th! One of the outstanding tracks from the album is the new single “The Omen” and it’s one hell of a track. A broody beginning gives way to a haunting tale and a heavy bluesy rhythm harkens back to some of the best Blue Oyster Cult material of the 70’s. At last, the riffs arrive and we are right in the middle of a heavy-duty jam with mean vocals at the helm. An eclectic journey you won’t want to miss, catch Hellfire 76 on your Home for the Best New Rock…” – WJOE – Findlay’s Home for Rock & Roll
“Drink the concoction prepared by the band, a cocktail of blood riffs, genuine rhythms and distorted vocals that you can find in the dirtiest pubs in New Orleans! Fans of Kyuss, ZZ Top, Killing Joke, The Melvins and Clutch will be thrilled!” – Heavy Mag
“In the radius of bituminous rhythms, nevertheless animated by a Rock energy, we frankly opt more for cousinage with CLUTCH, a formation that has always been able to evolve between thickness, melody and conciseness. With, as a bonus, these hints of greasy and oily Blues which inject a kind of groove and sap within a Metal which should not silence or ignore its affinities with the severe and groovy Metal proper to Pantera.” – Integral Metal
“Hellfire 76 comes at you hard and heavy and without mercy.” – Doomed Nation
“Hellfire 76, A duo devoted to rampaging Stoner-Doom-Psych-Metal, which swings to dense blues licks that suggest a Triceratops mating with a Sherman Tank!” – Q C Nerve
The Hellfire 76 use the masks of voodoo, witchcraft, the occult and tarot cards to tell us stories of how Evil has taken over our world, ruled by liars, impostors and careerists. People are flooded with a river of lies, perpetrated by governments and the Church, which obscure our view of the Truth.” – Progressive Rock Journal

HELLFIRE 76 New Video “Rags to Rage” Is A Rip Roaring Rock Title Track Off New Album Out End of Nov 2024
|

North Carolina, USA’s, Southern Metal duo Hellfire 76 has just dropped their rippin’ new video for single “Rags to Rage” the title track from their upcoming first full-length, which hits speakers on November 29th. The song showcases the band’s signature combination of fuzzed-out grooves and occult-themed storytelling, drawing from founding member Von Bury’s New Orleans roots. The band comments on the single:
“Musically, it’s fast and aggressive; lyrically, it’s pretty much an “action/reaction” lyric- each to its own interpretation. Simply put, we wanted a song that kicked down the door right from the start. It’s full of fast grooves with rapid-fire lyrics.”
The two-piece outfit, featuring Von Bury (guitar/bass/organ/vocals) (formerly of the Southern Gothic act LOVESUCKER and the Occult Rock act and Napalm Recording artist BLOODY HAMMERS) and Mike McGuiness (drums) (formerly of the Industrial Metal act FACE THE WORLD), delivers a massive wall of sound that belies their minimal lineup. Recorded in a single take, “Rags to Rage” demonstrates the raw power and precision that has earned Hellfire 76 recognition as one of the heaviest two-piece acts in the local scene.
Looking to branch out further, the act challenges metal and rock fans to indulge with their new music video, which can be seen and heard via its premiere on GhostCultMagazine HERE.
All killer-no filler, this two-piece brings 110% to their album “Rags To Rage”. The overall theme of this record is dark, taboo, spooky, tongue-in-cheek, fuzzed-out southern metal. Von Bury explains further:
“The album RAGS TO RAGE is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener’s interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities. We want to take the listeners on a dark and ominous journey into a place they don’t normally think about.”

=============================================
About The Album Artwork:
Old school distressed in a “SST Records” kinda way
About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
The overall theme of this album is dark, taboo, spooky, tongue-in-cheek, fuzzed-out southern metal!
Track By Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
1. Rags to Rage- musically fast and aggressive, lyrically-it’s pretty much an “action/reaction” lyric- each to its own interpretation.
2. Steal Your Soul- is about the downfall of a narcissist, do bad things, and bad things happen to you.
3. 1000 crimes- it’s about the thought that not all things that the Church creates are in good intentions
4. As Above- is about a soul-less dictator, what you reap is what you sow
5. The Keepers- About the documentary about a twisted Christian cult
6. Magic and Religion- it’s about the similarities between Magic and Religion, and how very similar they are.
7. Black Angel- is about an angel that belongs in neither Heaven nor Hell
8. The Omen- is about how religion uses fear to prey on weak minds to do the dirty work.
======================================================
Fun Facts – Story Angles
1. Von Bury grew up in New Orleans Louisiana, home of all things decadent and spooky. So a lot of his writings are influenced by growing up in that city.
2. HELLFIRE 76 was actually a 3 pc initially. Our Bassist came down with a debilitating nerve disease that prevented him from continuing on with the band. Seeing that all the songs were written by Bury/ McGuiness, it made sense to just continue on as a 2 pc. He is a great guy and we felt he couldn’t be replaced so we soldered on as a duo.
3. We actually have enough material at this time for 4 more albums if we didn’t write another note. We are pretty prolific in the writing capacity. We keep writing, always chasing the next idea. Keeps us engaged!
4. Being a 2ps has some great advantages:
We travel VERY cheap, can set up in front of most acts, less drama. It always makes for great conversation AFTER the show because people are always intrigued on how we get a huge sound for just 2 people. We’ve been told we are the “heaviest” 2pc band in the land…. I think we are definitely one of them for sure!
5. When you are a 2pc act, there’s NO time for drama and trivial bullshit. You are like “bookends” one without the other is a no go.
6. We record all our songs in 1 take. We are THAT well rehearsed!
Taboo lyrics served over blues-infected grooves! This is the unique blend of sounds that HELLFIRE 76 brings to the table. With influences ranging from ZZ Top, Killing Joke, and Kyuss to the Melvins, HELLFIRE 76 delivers a sound sure to satisfy doom, stoner, and psych rock fans alike!
Formed by founding members Von Bury (formerly of the Southern Gothic act LOVESUCKER and the Occult Rock act and Napalm Recording artist BLOODY HAMMERS) and Mike McGuiness (formerly of the Industrial Metal act FACE THE WORLD), HELLFIRE 76 set out to create a brand of Heavy Southern Stoner Devil Metal that has been missing for quite some time.
All killer-no filler, this two-piece brings 110% to their first full-length “Rags To Rage” due out at the end of November 2024. The overall theme of this album is dark, taboo, spooky, tongue-in-cheek, fuzzed-out southern metal. Von Bury explains further:
“The album RAGS TO RAGE is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener’s interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities.

To give the first glimpse into the album, HELLFIRE 76 is sharing their new music video for the first single “The Omen”.
“We wanted to have a song on the album (last track specifically) that we wouldn’t really play live as there are Organ sounds and whatnot that we can’t replicate live. I wanted a closer on the record in the vein of No Quarter, something that has a completely different vibe from the rest of the album,” adds Von Bury.
