Hellhookah Post “Greed and Power” Video; New Album The Curse Coming Soon

hellhookah

Lithuanian doom two-piece Hellhookah are gearing up to release their second album, titled The Curse, sometime in the coming months. When’s it out? I don’t know. Who’s putting it out? I don’t know. Is there a new video streaming for the track “Greed and Power” right now? Why yes, yes there is. And so we see what really matters. The doom.

And Hellhookah — as anyone who heard their 2016 debut, Endless Serpents (review here), can attest — have plenty of doom to offer. They remain traditionalists in the genre, playing to a familiar style of post-Iommi riffs and lumbering-but-on-lockdown grooves. Guitarist/vocalist Arnas Gricius and drummer Gintare Staneviciute have already demonstrated their affinity for the classics, most especially Saint Vitus, and so “Greed and Power” brings forth some new ideas, pushing the vocals forward in the mix and seeming to offer a more aggressive take. Set to a massive guitar tone and complementary roll of crash cymbal, the slog of “Greed and Power” should ultimately be no less a doomed delight than was the first record, but the route they take to get there has shifted somewhat in character and delivery.

That’s only fair for a second record, and in conjunction with that, it’s also worth mentioning the production uptick evident in the “Greed and Power” recording, with further depth of tone in the guitar and an organic feel to the drums. I don’t yet know how “Greed and Power” might relate to the rest of The Curse from whence it comes, but it seems like we’ve got time before the record comes out, and the lead single provides plenty of fodder for intrigue, which is exactly what one would hope it would do.
