Talking about the song, mainman, Ali Shiach, said, “Hellfire Revival takes aim at the destructive oppressors of the world; dictators, warlords and corrupt governments. Full of musical attack, the weighty riff and heavy groove perfectly compliment the aggressive lyrical sentiment; we-the-people shall not be shackled with fear, and united we stand in uncertain times. Massive full-band accents and a killer slide guitar solo tone, cultivate a ferocious atmosphere in this short sharp track.”
He continued, “The official Hellfire Revival video perfectly captures and portrays the power struggle between the people, and those who’ve taken power from them. Gritty and aggressive visuals make a statement from the off, as the story of capture and beating unravel on screen. However, the pendulum ultimately swings as the oppressed refuse to lie down and die – the good will out.”
The concluded, “We are absolutely delighted to have achieved chart success with this album. We have no label funding but with the help of our awesome fanbase, we have done great things. It’s magic, we are thrilled!
And what’s better is that after a 20-date support tour with Bad Touch, we now head out on our own run where we can stretch our wings and play a full set of songs. We can’t wait to bring all our fans the full experience!”
