Hell Flower
The combination of progressive energy and doom metal atmosphere, with the penetration of ears, increases the heart rate and pruritus in the throat.
Melodious parts are replaced with сhromatics, heavy guitar riffs, and it’s all harmonize with each other.
Apathetic and depressive vocals are diluted with powerful growling.
The themes of the texts are - war, human whims, natural phenomena and human intervention.
Guitar/vocal - Kirill
Bass guitar - Leon
Drums - Polina
