Satanic Hell issue #1
Satanic Hell issue #1 (Zeno Telos Press)
Death Priest, Dante, and Exodus – and their trusty, and evil, drum machine – are Satanic Hell, an industrial metal band from Los Angeles struggling to keep one step ahead of the law in a world gone mad. Military revolution? Zombie apocalypse? Nuclear holocaust? No, no, and no. For these guys, it’s something much, much worse. As this inagural issue commences, Satanic Hell are crossing the border into Texas, which – in the dystopian future depicted in the planned 7-issue series of this new digital comic from Zeno Telos Press – has been transformed into a freedomless hell on earth controlled by fundamentalist zealots who will stop at nothing to maintain their control over the masses. Their only hope of survival is Sam, an enigmatic local who booked the tour that brought them to Texas in the first place. How will a bunch of longhaired, tattooed musicians – in a band called Satanic Hell – fare in a place such as this, with or without Sam’s help? Issue #1 is available for free download at www.satanichell.com so you can find out for yourselves. The story by Grigoris Douros is compelling, the art by Kevin Enhart and Newel Anderson strikes a nice balance between classic and modern, and the coloring by Jimmy Kerast makes the whole thing pop like the light show at a Cradle Of Filth concert. Throw in a super-cool cover – with a creepy, ‘Sandman’-influenced feel – created by all three visual artists working together, and the end result is a must-have comic, for comics fans and for metal fans alike.
