We are NOW starting to take PRE-ORDERS for latest releases from Heaven and Hell Records at a SPECIAL low introductory price. Some supplies are very limited so dont hesitate.
Originally Hexenhammer was conceived in 1984 with members Ronnie Dean on guitar, bassist Tony Pruitt, drummer Andy Thornburg, guitarist Gene Davis, and vocalist Mark Warren. Over the next four years the band would re-locate to Jacksonville, Fl. and back to Tennessee while trying to find a foothold in any welcoming metal scene they could find, meanwhile struggling to hold together a solid line-up. In 1987 the band settled in Columbia, TN. and after some personnel changes an official line-up of the band would be solidified the following year.
That same year in 1989 Hexenhammer would issue a two song demo quickly followed by the D.I.Y full-length release Underground in 1990. The release would receive considerable press in zines and metal magazines both in the U.S. and abroad. Unfortunately as things seemed to start rolling for Hexenhammer that year, they would also mysteriously disappear without a trace.
For years since Hexenhammers disappearance fans and collectors alike have spoken of the band as if some obscure myth. Now after years of searching Heaven and Hell Records has finally found them and will soon release the Hexenhammer recordings for the first time ever on CD. All tracks have been re-mastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios from the best source material available, including the Underground full-length, and some bonus tracks. The CD also includes never before seen photos, lyrics and cover art by Steven Cobb.
These recordings are rare treasures off U.S. metal that have finally been restored and presented to the Hexenhammer fans. They are limited to ONLY 500 so dont hesitate and get your copy soon before they are all gone.
After eight years of seeking out the band and the man known as Killer Khan (aka Killian Khan) Heaven and Hell Records have located him tucked away deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina. There he has been for more than a decade, quietly waiting for the right time to resurface onto the underground scene.
Little is known about this mysterious band that in the mid-90s emerged on to the scene under the name Holy Moses and released two self-released albums Latitude Zero (95) and Rock n Roll Forever (96) before changing their name to Killer Khan. They would go on to release the third album Kill Devil Hills in 1999 and re-release Rock n Roll Forever in 2001 under the new moniker. Throughout this time the band received a fair amount of attention worldwide in the press with several positive reviews and extensive interviews in such magazines as Germanys Thats Metal and Japans Burnn!, among others.
A weird sound, a great sound, something like old Savatage crossed with Cathedral with a bunch of weirdo indie moves. Its so cool that metal freaks like this exist and just crank the stuff Martin Popoff (BW&BK)
Now H&H Records has re-issued the Kill Khan debut Kill Devil Hills with new artwork, bonus tracks, and will be re-mastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios. This CD release is limited to 500, so dont wait and get your copy NOW.
North Carolina's traditional metallers Dogabne return with their long awaited second album. The band continues in the direction of classic NWOBHM styling with hints of doom-ish vibes. The groundwork was laid with the debut, and now Dogbane have stepped it up a notch with nine tracks of traditional heavy metal goodness.
For fans of; Trouble, Witchfinder General, Manilla Road, Pentagram, Brocas Helm, and NWOBHM
