HELLFIRE SOCIETY ALBU… Read Full Bio ↴HELLFIRE SOCIETY SECOND ALBUM "BLACK-OP" OUT NOW!!
HELLFIRE SOCIETY ALBUM "THE ANGRY ARMY" OUT NOW!!
Hellfire Society was born in 2001, founded by the leader/singer David whose dissatisfaction with the socio-political and religious status quo of his native Italy caused in him a desire to question what he saw around him every day, and, when he found answers that he could not accept, to find a way to respond and be heard. David formed HFS to give voice to his anger and serve as a method of spreading his views to others. The reception to his project was unprecedented, with Hellfire Society's first ever live concert being attended by over 1500 paying fans. HFS's gut-wrenching guitars, carried by the force of David's powerful voice and balanced by his excruciating attention to detail and musical arrangement, incited a response from crowds that soon had them performing on national television and touring throughout Europe.
The band starts writing what later on will become the debut album "The Angry Army", they refuse several offers from labels looking and waiting for the right one, in this period the bassist Trauma joins the band bringing new life into the band, choosing carefully their moves they record and release a cover of "Bang Bang" which receives a unexpected success all around the globe: the song was originally born as bonus track for all of those fans who were waiting the album.
On September 2008 HFS is called for the official remix of "Runaway" by the world famous artist Ladytron (toured with NIN), the remix is released by the major Nettwerk Records in 17 countries around the world, included in the cd and also printed in a limited edition vinyl.
In the meantime Hellfire Society signs its most important contract with one of the most important Artist Development & Music Marketing companies in Europe Brainstorm (DE) already responsible for the promotion for acts such as AC/DC, Metallica and Guns n' Roses among others. Follows is what HFS has been waiting for a long time: a contract with the major label Hellfest/Universal Records.
The video for the first single "Mad About You" is filmed in an old asylum in Florence (Italy), a very evocative location that sets the atmosphere of what will soon become the lite-motif of the band, a WWII set surrounded by wicked medical experiments. Buckles and goth accessories are left behind, replaced with tactical wear and post nuclear urban guerrilla gear, they start to call their fans "soldiers" and "The Angry Army" was born. Mind blowing guitars wisely mixed with electronics, granitic rhythmic section and the powerful voice of the leader/singer make the band stand up in a crowd of anonymous industrial rock bands.
Controversy is behind the corner, a picture of David with the writing "WAR" on his chest is published, immediately becoming the icon of a screamed and powerful rebellion is warped and misunderstood by the masses, accusing them of being "pro-war", David replied in an interview: "HFS is not pro-war, we only provide music for fighting. Everywhere, every day people have to fight a battle, no matter how small, we all have to fight our wars, often just to save our right and freedom. We only provide the right music to do it to."
Waiting for the extensive promotion that Brainstorm is preparing for the album and the tour the band decides to start a mini-tour in Europe in order to test the new line-up that sees David on vocals and guitars, rock solid Tramua on the bass, the return of AK-47, the former guitarist of the band, and the last member that joined the army B3N on the electronics, live FX and samples. This completely new live set-up is tested with great success in a series of sold out shows, among which the one @ Siddharta Club in Prato where the band plays in front of an excited crowd followed by an exclusive DJ Set by Morgan (Bluvertigo/X-Factor), then is the time for their show @ the Club Semifinal in Helsinki where once more the show is sold out.
The album, "The Angry Army" released on June 19th 2009 by Hellfest/Universal Records is what they call a Fight Rock Manifesto, cutting edge, powerful and catching, a synergy that is rare to find in a debut album, which is the emergence of a project that you won't want to miss!
"..This stuff here, this is the good shit ...Anyone else remember the good shit?! Well if not this is what it sounded like!! What a credit to the genre! I'm nearly speechless.."

Hellfire Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes are burned by me
I walk in the street in my merry nastiness
The nastiness you fear
I don't need to do nothing more than be myself
Stupid people always need somebody to burn at the stake
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
I'm an angel the first angel
I'm the fallen angel
I was an angel the dirty angel
Poor my little angel
Don't you see the love of god is the biggest lie?
Don't you see the faith in god is the biggest lie?
Hey you! Why are you so blind
Everyday the god that you love makes you cry
Hey you! Open your eyes
Following your plasures is the only way
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
I'm an angel the first angel
I'm the fallen angel
I was an angel the dirty angel
Poor my little angel
Don't you see the love of god is the biggest lie?
Don't you see the faith in god is the biggest lie?
Hey you! Why are you so blind
Everyday the god that you love makes you cry
Hey you! Open your eyes
Following your plasures is the only way
The lyrics of Hellfire Society's song "Angel" are a provocative and rebellious take on the traditional concept of angels as pure and divine beings. The singer portrays himself as an angel, but specifically a fallen and dirty one, who tempts the world and causes fear and discomfort in those who encounter him. He asserts that the love and faith in God are the biggest lies and urges the listener to follow their pleasures as the only way to truly live. The repetition of the line "You will see that I'll become something never seen before" emphasizes the singer's desire to break free from traditional religious ideals and carve out his own unique identity.
The song could be interpreted as a rejection of organized religion and its perceived restrictions on individuality and pleasure. It may also be seen as a commentary on societal norms and expectations, urging individuals to embrace their true selves and reject the fear and judgment of others. The singer's rebellious attitude highlights the inherent tension between conformity and individuality.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm the one that tempts your world
I am the force that seduces and corrupts your life
Your eyes are burned by me
My influence leaves a mark that alters your perception
I walk in the street in my merry nastiness
I move about in public feeling joy in my wickedness
The nastiness you fear
The disgust and horror that you feel towards me feeds my power
I don't need to do nothing more than be myself
I don't need to pretend or put up a front, my true nature is enough
Stupid people always need somebody to burn at the stake
Ignorant individuals always require a scapegoat to blame and punish
You will see that I'll become something never seen before
I will transform into an unprecedented entity that will shock and amaze you
I'm an angel the first angel
I once held a divine status, being the first of all angels
I'm the fallen angel
I've been cast down from my former glory, deemed unworthy by a higher power
I was an angel the dirty angel
My fall has left me corrupted and impure, unfit for the purity of heaven
Poor my little angel
My plight and fate elicit pity and compassion, as I suffer in my exile
Don't you see the love of god is the biggest lie?
The notion of a divine, loving deity is a falsehood that distracts from the truth of existence
Don't you see the faith in god is the biggest lie?
The act of devotion and trust in a god is a deception that impedes personal growth and enlightenment
Hey you! Why are you so blind
Why are you so oblivious and naive to the reality that surrounds you?
Everyday the god that you love makes you cry
Each day, the deity that you worship and admire causes you pain and suffering
Hey you! Open your eyes
Wake up and see the world as it truly is, unclouded by false beliefs and illusions
Following your pleasures is the only way
Pursuing and indulging in your desires is the sole path to satisfaction and fulfillment
