We Belgians should be proud of ourselves. Despite not being promoted as much as non-metal bands, our little country does produce some fine metal bands. You’ve got Channel Zero of course, but there are many other bands as well, and one of these is Hell City, hailing from Hoeselt.
The album contains only 9 tracks sadly enough, and that is with the intro included, as well as the acoustic version of ‘Ice Cold Rage’, a song that features twice on the album. I would have preferred had they put one or two extra tracks on the album, but that said all 9 songs are very good. The production, which was done by Mikey Doling, guitarist from Channel Zero is very crisp. Of course one of the trump cards this band has, is their fenomanal female frontwoman, who has a fantastic voice. We’ve had other female fronted Belgian bands in the past, like Acid, but Michelle’s voice rises above that level. An advice to the organizers of Marktrock in Leuven. In the past very few metal bands have appeared on your stage, Channel Zero being one of them. Well, since you focus on national bands, why not have Hell City on your list?
