The Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:6dgHdGPNTKmwKZawDhWjsf" data-name="Mathias Kom">Mathias Kom</a> and multi-instrumentalists <a href="spotify:artist:02JeXo3gnf1C2oB0RFqgl4" data-name="Ariel Sharratt">Ariel Sharratt</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5G2lXATYCfXqpMdtSiYh8A" data-name="Jake Nicoll">Jake Nicoll</a>, often including additional comrades and collaborators including <a href="spotify:artist:5ogab2Tu9UMZTumiZbl315" data-name="Kelly McMichael">Kelly McMichael</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:42ViayamkigAOVp8yh9cQ2" data-name="Steven Lambke">Steven Lambke</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7BKAiz4IH0VYUBG2ImEOWP" data-name="Toby Goodshank">Toby Goodshank</a> and many others. Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks. They move with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, delightful, and even occasionally beautiful world. Which is to say they’re good dance partners and they want to dance with you.
The Burning Hell are DIY in the best possible sense—underlining the “Do”—their albums and singles manifesting from the edges of the music industry as collaborations with independent labels and publishers, and their years of touring forming connections person by person, show by show, in town after town. They’ve famously ventured to every out-of-the-way island and inland neglected by the less adventurous, emphasizing presence and connection across latitudes, longitudes, and time, affirming a commitment to the political power of sharing music. It is a profoundly optimistic gesture, by way of killer tunes, exuberant hooks, and joyful live performances.
