Three songs are featured on this special release that was a DIY project spinning from the mind of one of ROT IN HELL’s members. From the packing to the inside of this mysterious package the Fan gets treated with nothing more than pure art.

From the spray painted envelope to the bookstyle shaped hardboard slip cover and the actual 7″ lathe cut with it’s own booklet, no details were overlooked and every step of this production was planned without margin for error.

The featured songs have been around for quite a while as the recording dates back to 2010.
These gems must have been locked into a deep secure vault untill mankind was ready to witness their beauty.
That day has now come for 31 lucky Fans.

As mentioned before this release is not your typical ROT IN HELL release when you expect Holy Terror based UKHC, this one displays that other talent that makes ROT IN HELL one of the best bands in hardcore nowadays. It features three acoustic songs by artists that may or may not be linked closely to their own scene.
 |
| Inside of the booklet |
Three covers by three different artists who have acclaimed fame years ago.
From THEATRE OF HATE to JOHNNY CASH and THE MISFITS, three influential artists that get their own twisted interpretation by ROT IN HELL.

The acoustic songs are perfectly executed and sometimes the vocals come close to the originals.
This acoustic project is something that divides ROT IN HELL from all the rest, in between the Holy Terror madness and mayhem they can still provide a perfect song with nothing more than a voice and a guitar.
 |
| The detail regarding the recording and covered songs |
Also the twist in lyrics is very funny, for example in the JOHNNY CASH cover Sixteen there is a part that speaks of Jack Abernathy summoning our protagonist to declare war on man and to spread the plague over the land.

That balance between the acoustic parts and the ‘normal’ hardcore sounds of ROT IN HELL is exactly the path these guys should pursue further on in their career and what sets them apart leading to an ever growing cult following worldwide. They even came up with a new genre for this : Neoterror!

Next to this special one off release there’s also rumours regarding some new releases coming up.
Talk of another new album titled Halways Of The Always II are buzzing round and it seems that a label has been found so expect some new release soon featuring some unreleased songs all packed together in one neat album.

| A gift of art |
And if that wasn’t enough they also are working on a split with Psywarfare that will feature three acoustic songs. So good things are coming our way, keep an eye out for these prophets of doom.
