Review From Soulgrinder zine
Will be published on Soulgrinder #4
Hailing from China. Hell City is a crossover band, a genre which started to take off in the 80's. This band captures the intensity of hardcore and the aggression of thrash. Imagine the bastard love-child of Exploited and Slayer, and you might have an idea what this sounds like. This album is sloppy, disgusting, and it's definitely got balls. The riffs are simple, catchy, and fast-paced and the drumming is typical punk. The lyrics range from ultra violence and Bruce Lee. But a hell of a lot of fun. Don't expect complex songwriting or musical virtuosity, for there's none of it here. Attitude is what Hell City are all about. However, you owe it to yourself to check this one out: I promise you won't be disappointed.
