HELL BENT - 6 SONG EP:

"If you’re dragging a little this morning then hitch your wagon to Providence’s Hell Bent and hold on. This New England-based quartet of die-hards not only has the sheer thrust to get you moving, they’ve got that catchiness to keep you moving. Hell Bent’s six track declaration—and they’re all actual tracks, too—is uncompromising crossover played by nihilistic punks and misanthropic metalheads."
- DUTCH PEARCE / DECIBEL

"If you listen while driving you may become bedeviled with road rage."
- ALLYSON KINGSLEY / SKULLS N BONES

"Every time I listen to it, it kicks my ass. If you’ve got adrenaline to burn and fifteen minutes to kill, shut your laptop and put away the Vaseline, cause Hell Bent have you covered this time, pal."
- REESE BURNS / INDY METAL VAULT

"John and Shawn know a good riff when they hear one, and if you love the idea of early D.R.I. duking it out with Cryptic Slaughter – and why wouldn’t you?"
- MICHAEL STRONGE / SENTINEL DAILY

"Short and worryingly sharp this debut from hell bent proves this fledgling act to be deft in attack and swift in execution."
- STEVEN REED / SEA OF TRANQUILITY

"With it's old school-street metal & (hardcore-tinged) crossover meets underground thrash metal, "EP" is a great introduction to this tough as nails group."
- ANDY / HEAVY METAL TIME MACHINE

"Blast beats? D-beats? Thrashing metal riffage? A singer that sounds like his vocal chords are coated in piss and vinegar? Yes to all of that. Throw in some crust attitude and you have yourself a powerful exothermic reaction – in layman’s terms, this stuff is straight fire."
- HANS / TOILET OV HELL

"Providence, Rhode Island’s Hell Bent merge together the hardest thrash and speed metal and hardcore with a bit of d-beat thrown in there too in the best crossover tradition to create a hell of a noise."
- GAVIN BROWN / INVICTA MAGAZINE

"Executing material in a primal, raw, and ferocious manner, this quintet slice and dice through these six cuts without any mercy, aiming squarely to wrench all the anger, angst, and aggression out of your bodies."
- MATT COE / DEAD RHETORIC

"Rhode Island’s hell bent spew six tracks that combine searing elements of thrash, D-beat, crossover, and hardcore—if you need a label beyond “whoa.”
- HUTCH / NEW NOISE

"Old school thrash, the aforementioned crossover and raging d-beat and powerviolence amalgamate into 14 minutes of relentless, high octane assaults."
- LANE OLIVER / SVBTERRANEAN

"This EP is capable of providing a raging shot of adrenaline"
- CHRIS DAHLBERG / TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY
