They formed in 1989 and broke up in early 2010. Hellnation went on numerous tours throughout the United States, Japan, Brazil, and across Europe. Distinct trademarks of Hellnation's sound include punk rock guitar riffs played at hyper speed, copious amounts of distortion, and angry, profanity-laden vocals / lyrics. There were several line-up changes during their twenty one year history, but the most solid (and final) line up consisted of:

Albert - Drums & Lead Vocals
Ken - Guitar & Vocals
Doug - Bass & Vocals

Dynamite Up Your Ass
Hellnation Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The succession continues
Of violent jerkoffs that
Are guaranteed to be the
Leaders of tomorrow
Frat house mtv spring break past
I wanna stick dynamite up your ass
On the sports team
At yuppie bars

The world is handed to you

You're a piece of shit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hellnation's song "Dynamite Up Your Ass" criticize the current state of society where the most violent and ignorant individuals are seemingly handpicked to become leaders in the future. The song points out the frat-house lifestyle that is glorified on MTV and Spring Break, and the entitled behavior exhibited by those who are part of sports teams or regulars at yuppie bars. The singer expresses their desire to use violence against those who have been handed everything in life and still behave like pieces of shit.

The song highlights the idea that the celebration of privileged, entitled behavior and toxic masculinity are embedded ideals in society, and as a result, we are grooming future leaders who are morally corrupt. The anger and frustration in the lyrics stem from the belief that the world deserves better than what is being presented to us.

Of violent jerkoffs that
Of aggressive fools who

Are guaranteed to be the
Are sure to become the

At yuppie bars
In trendy establishments

The world is handed to you
Everything is given to you

You're a piece of shit
You are a contemptible person
