Maybe it's just me, but I'm always skeptical when a band announces their new single is their heaviest yet. Leave it to Miracle Blood to actually pull it off. "Hello Hell" is heavy. Really heavy. It might be the most traditionally metal sounding song Miracle Blood has put out so far. The song combines doom and sludge with the punk edge that is needed to truly be a Miracle Blood song. What truly makes this band unique is that as heavy and loud and obviously angry a song like "Hello Hell" is, there is still that sense of fun that sets them apart from their peers. All Miracle Blood songs are great. That's just a fact. But "Hello Hell" is especially great.
In a Facebook post, Miracle Blood say of their new single:
"It’s definitely the heaviest song we’ve ever put out. We knew we wanted to start taking our sound in a heavier direction for a while, even before we started writing this album. When Anthony joined the band on drums, it all just clicked. We all grew up playing metal, punk and hardcore, so making things heavier just felt natural to us and we had a lot of fun pushing things in that direction. The song, ‘Hello Hell,' is a perfect example of that. It has all the dissonance and stank we had built into our sound and also a heaviness that wasn’t there before. The lyrics are about waking up in the morning, heavy stuff. Our buds in Sapling and BEDTIMEMAGIC helped us out with the gang vocals."
