Description
Hell III, the third album by Roman band Helligators, sees the light on June 4th 2019, 4 years after their previous release Road Roller Machine, once again via Sliptrick Records. It was recorded between March 2018 and January 2019 at Luciano Chessa’s Moon Voice Studio and mastered at Synthesis Recording Studio by Andrea Corvo.
The 11 songs that make up the album range from the classic hard rock of Rebellion and Pedal To The Metal to the more powerfully dark and heavy sounds of Here To Stay and Bleeding, but also offering more intimate and acoustic atmospheres in Where I Belong. However, the band has also decided to venture into new musical territories, with songs such as the instrumental Bassthard Session III(which features Gianni Colaiacono, former Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso as a special guest) and the long suite Confession.
With Hell III, Helligators wander into more melodic areas compared to their previous efforts while maintaining the rock and roll attitude that has distinguished and driven them since day one. The lyrics, more introspective and reflective, are a mosaic of personal experiences, street life and social issues made of joy, sorrow and the hardships of our lives.
Welcome to Hell III!

Yes, Helligators are from Rome, Italy – though my first listen to this album had me thinking of something far more Corrosion of Conformity in origin. “Hell III” is powerful, dirty hard rock with just a hint of stoner metal, big melodies and southern charm …read more

“Rebellion,” is a riff snake. It carefully weaves its way through the depths and comes out with fuzz and a growling snake tone. “Here To Stay,” is a monster riffer, taking charge and bringing about some fascinating changes with the tempo and melodies. “Bleeding,” is another monster riffer, that charges right through custom and brings out the heaviness. “Where I Belong,” slows things down a little, before twisting the edge just that little bit to make it all alright. “Born Again,” speeds things up once more, delivering a careful hammering. “The Prison,” snakes out and delivers a kick in the teeth.
“Gone,” slows things down a tad, to ensure the full epicness of the heaviness is unveiled. “Until I Feel No More,” is a groover, that moves in all the right places, taking a turn and twisting the edge just that extra bit. “Bassthard Session III,” slows right down and delivers some chilling movements. “Even From The Grave,” rocks the house down and shifts it out. “Pedal To The Metal,” takes names, some serious names …read more
