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.."

Bad News
Hellfire Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'm after you
And behind you (and around you)
And all this time I've been one step ahead of you
You've never had a clue
What I could do to you
Now the time has come for you to pay your dues
This ain't a movie set
Bitch you are not even gonna make me sweat
Next time your get inside
Your living room
All you're gonna hear is "boom"
And I'll make you bleed
I wanna hear you scream
Tonight
Until we see the morning lights
Bad news for you
Why would I join you,
When I can beat you?
You trynna make a move and Ima slaughter you
You better lock the door
You did start this war
When I'm done with you you're gonna hug the floor
Medical report
You will need support
I really wanna see you when your lip is split
If you're still talking shit
Throwing another fit
D'you really think that you can you take my hit?
Bitch!
And I'll make you bleed
I wanna hear you scream
Tonight
Until we see the morning light
You're going down
Going down, going down
You're going down
Going down, going down
You won't be the same
You'll just be a
Distant light and you'll watch me walk away
You'll remember my name
The one you betrayed
When I'll walk through the
Neon lights of L.A.
You won't be the same
You'll just be a
Distant light and you'll watch me walk away
The lyrics to Hellfire Society's song "Bad News" are about the singer seeking revenge against someone who has wronged them. The first verse sets the tone for the song, describing how the singer has been one step ahead of their prey and is ready to make them pay. The chorus asserts the singer's desire to hear their victim scream as they exact their vengeance. The second verse reveals that the victim is someone the singer used to know, and they feel justified in attacking them because they started the conflict. The bridge highlights the singer's disdain for their victim, forecasting that they will be forgotten while the singer continues on.
The song showcases themes of anger, revenge, and a desire for justice. The singer is described as being very confident and capable of carrying out their plans. The lyrics convey a sense of satisfaction that will come from the singer's retribution. Thematically, "Bad News" is similar to other revenge-themed songs in popular music, such as Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" and "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

Bad news for you
You're in trouble
Because I'm after you
I'm pursuing you
And behind you (and around you)
I'm surrounding you from all sides
And all this time I've been one step ahead of you
I've been outsmarting you this whole time
You've never had a clue
You've been clueless
What I could do to you
The harm I can cause to you
Now the time has come for you to pay your dues
It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions
This ain't a movie set
This isn't a fictional scenario
You're gonna lose your bet
You're going to regret your decision
Bitch you are not even gonna make me sweat
You won't even cause me stress
Next time your get inside
The next time you go home
Your living room
The room you spend most of your time in
All you're gonna hear is "boom"
You're going to hear an explosion
And I'll make you bleed
I will physically harm you
I wanna hear you scream
I want to see the pain you're in
Tonight
This evening
Until we see the morning lights
Until the sun rises
Why would I join you,
Why would I want to collaborate with you
When I can beat you?
When I can defeat you
You trynna make a move and Ima slaughter you
If you try to do anything, I will harm you badly
You better lock the door
You should lock yourself in
You did start this war
You initiated this conflict
When I'm done with you you're gonna hug the floor
You're going to end up on the ground
Medical report
A document of your injuries
You will need support
You'll need assistance
I really wanna see you when your lip is split
I want to see the physical damage I caused you
If you're still talking shit
If you're still trash-talking me
Throwing another fit
Reacting in anger again
D'you really think that you can you take my hit?
Do you really think you can handle my attack?
Bitch!
Insulting term for emphasis
You're going down
You're losing
Going down, going down
You are definitely losing
You won't be the same
You'll be changed
You'll just be a
You'll simply be
Distant light and you'll watch me walk away
A figure in the distance watching me leave
You'll remember my name
You'll remember who I am
The one you betrayed
The person you betrayed
When I'll walk through the
When I walk through
Neon lights of L.A.
Bright lights of Los Angeles
