Bringing back the raw raunchy sound of the past with gutter rock, a constant mainstay in the Music biz and HELLTRIP is molded in this vein. The have essence of early ALICE COOPER with a touch of GYSPY PISTOLEROS and a mix of punk with its straightforward approach.

Strong power chords with heavy background vocals give these boys a hard edge. They have the look of THE ROMANTICS all in red and can kick up their heels. The opening track "Seeing Green" is a pulsating song that jets and the screams by Mr. Touched One are energetic. Mr. Mad Lolo guitar work has the familiar influences of Michael BruceKillers” era.

The track that set the tone is “Hell on Earth,” which has some great lyrics and has the arena style chants that will make it a crowd favorite. Another track that melts is “Six Years” you can just feel vintage ALICE COOPER coming through on this track all the way to the raw vocals to the musical sounds. Check out the little guitar work at the end AC/DC-ish like.

If you are expecting a ballad you might as well forget it on "Sabanas Rojas", these boys are full throttle combustion, tons of reverb, slashing guitar riffs ala Angus Young-- AC/DC, scratchy vocals that are legible, I guess knocking back some Spanish whiskey does that.

The last track “Break It Up” is another driving tune that ends with a knock out punch. One thing for sure these boys got rhythm, style and the balls. The songs are fun at times traditional and other times inventive. Check these boys out-- HELLTRIP!
