Album of the Day 250: Hellfire by black midi

2022 experimental rock album from London, England. A crazy experience that takes from prog rock, show tunes, jazz fusion, and more. A hellish nightmare concept album, at times sung, at other times ranted in a blend of carnival barker and auctioneer; often hectic, occasionally soft, frequently discordant.

My picks: "Eat Men Eat," "Welcome to Hell," "Dangerous Liasons"

@LadyMarth01 The vocal style, especially on tracks like Hellfire, reminds me a lot of Sleaford Mods.

@auzzy At first, I had no idea what I was listening to.

Then I wasn't sure I liked it.

I'm pretty sure I love this now.

@LadyMarth01 thanks for the rec! If you like stuff like this you’ll probably like post-2010 revival Swans. Also Daughters.

@matt I'm a fan of To Be Kind, but I've not got around to listening to other albums by Swans.

I've heard of Daughters, but only really know of the band because of the abuse accusations against the lead singer.

@LadyMarth01 ugh, didn’t know that.

@matt It leaves me a bit divided on whether to listen to Daughters.

On the one hand, the rest of the band wasn't involved in any of this, to the best of my knowledge. Is it right to ignore a band based on the actions of one member?

On the other hand... Well, you know. 🫤

@LadyMarth01 I have trouble separating art from the artist. It’s why I no longer listen to Marilyn Manson or Lostprophets (not that I listened to the latter a lot, but it’s a good example). However, Wagner was a massive prick, even for his time. I think the passage of time helps with that, especially if they weren’t around during my own lifetime.

It’s a tricky one.
