FROM HELL is a heavy metal horror concept band in which each recording is intended to be its own horror story. The first one called “Ascent From Hell”, is about a corpse that wakes up in Hell and finds out he must go back to earth to find his soul that still lives on inside the body of a priest and drag it back to Hell.
In early 2019, FROM HELL began recording tracks for their next album which will be entitled “Rats and Ravens.” The album was released on May 22, 2020 via Scourge Records.
