Edinburgh heavy rock revelers EARL OF HELL present an electrifying new track taken from their self-titled debut album, due out on April 25th through Copper Feast Records. Don’t miss the band on their spring UK tour with Alain Johannes and Masters Of Reality!
“This is heavy rock that knows how to have fun as it is dark, delirious, and unapologetically loud. Earl Of Hell aren’t just cranking amps for volume’s sake, every breakdown and every sledgehammer groove feels deliberate, crafted to keep your head banging and your senses reeling.” – The Sleeping Shaman
Earl of Hell‘s self-titled debut album bestows a juggernaut of raucous dive-bar rock ‘n’ roll delivered with a relentless, raw punk energy. Recorded at Deep Storm Productions and mixed and mastered by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan), this unapologetic high-octane follow-up to 2022’s “Get Smoked” EP unveils a more refined sound that is both thoughtfully embellished yet unapologetically gritty. Embodying the spirit of bands like Alice In Chains, Killing Joke and Black Sabbath, this album pays homage to its stoner rock roots while exploring historical and futuristic concepts from Edinburgh’s infamous grave robbers to Planet Earth’s impending doom.

Debut album “Earl Of Hell”
Out April 25th on Copper Feast Records (LP/CD)
Earl Of Hell was born in 2020, just prior to the COVID pandemic which forced the UK into lockdown. They spent the first few months sharing ideas remotely and began rehearsing once restrictions finally eased. With music venues closed, the band spent a year honing their set and wouldn’t play their first gig until August 2021 to an all- seated audience. This was shortly followed by a sold-out first hometown show in Edinburgh’s legendary Sneaky Pete’s.
The band released a series of singles, ‘Blood Disco’ and ‘Arrythmia’, while continuing to play around Scotland and Northern England. They finally hit the studio again in 2022 to record and release their debut EP ‘Get Smoked’ on US label Slightly Fuzzed Records, receiving many positive reviews within the stoner and doom community. This was followed by an extensive run of shows, which included their first visit to London and opening for Bongzilla and Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons.
Over the summer of 2022, Earl Of Hell looked to expand their sound by recruiting a second guitarist in the person of Dan Mitchell. The band dynamic was enhanced as they immediately began writing and performing live as a five piece, opening for touring acts such as Lightning Bolt, Gnome and The Vintage Caravan.
2023 would prove to be the most successful year yet for Earl Of Hell, playing in excess of 30 shows, including a slot at the coveted Desertfest London, a summer tour with Iceland’s Volcanova and opening for bands such as Sasquatch and Nick Oliveri’s Mondo Generator. On Halloween, they released their fourth single ‘Impaler’, rounding the year off with headline weekenders in London, the Midlands and the North of Scotland. 2024 has seen Earl Of Hell complete a successful tour with renowned multi-instrumentalist and producer Alain Johannes, performing as tour support and Alain’s own backing band.
