Blöödhag - Hell Bent For Letters
Review by Jill Walker
Blöödhag's Hell Bent For Letters is an album that is sure to appeal to both metal and literature enthusiasts. The album features 13 tracks that are inspired by the works of famous authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
The band's unique blend of heavy metal riffs and literary references creates a sound that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The lyrics are cleverly crafted and showcase the band's love for literature.
The album's standout tracks include "The Coming of the Great Old Ones," which is inspired by Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, and "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins," which pays homage to Tolkien's The Hobbit.
