Kal Marks - My Name Is Hell (2022) Hi-Res

We will remember the big slap that we took in the company of Kal Marks with their album Universal Care released in 2018. The Boston group had surprised for their sludge-rock far too brutal for the sensitive souls but which surprised by their supernatural energy that we find once again on their soberly titled successor My Name Is Hell.

The now quartet is therefore back to play a trick on us. The cavernous and guttural interpretation of Carl Shane remains just as hard-hitting while the influences placed between post-hardcore and sludge remain at first sight with "My Life Is A Freak Show" as an opening or even the overpowering "Shit Town and “New Neighbor”.

By turns saving with sonic explosions like “Ovation” or even “The Future”, My Name Is Hell seems a bit more measured than its predecessor. Kal Marks masters his frenetic and abrasive sounds and sends everything waltzing to the end with "Who Waits" and "Bored Again" inciting his audience to burn everything. Consumed by hatred, rage, frustration, we imagine Kal Marks gnawed by this desire to see everything charred and covered with a thick cloud of ash.
