HELL’S DOMAIN — the Danish thrash metal band featuring former members of HATESPHERE, KOLDBORN, EXMORTEM and ARTILLERY — will release its self-titled debut album in late September via Punishment 18 Records. The CD’s cover artwork was created by Ed Repka, best known for his work with such bands as MEGADETH, DEATH, MASSACRE, ATHEIST, DEFIANCE and VIO-LENCE.

“Hell’s Domain” was recorded at Antfarm Studios in Aarhus, Denmark. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by renowned producer Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, KATAKLYSM, HATESPHERE, SICK OF IT ALL). Songtitles set to appear on the 11-track effort include “Hangman’s
Fracture”, “Order #227”, “The Walls Come Tumblin’ Down”, “In The Trenches…” , “100 Days in Hell” and “The Needle And The Vein”.

HELL’S DOMAIN was formed by guitarist Bjørn Bihlet (ex-KOLDBORN, BOIL) and bassist Lars Knudsen (ex-CRIONIC) in 2007 with the intention of churning out some catchy Bay Area-inspired thrash metal. Soon joined by Anders Gyldenøhr (ex-HATESPHERE, ARTILLERY) on drums and Alex Clausen (MONSTAH) on vocals, the band completed its lineup in 2011 with the addition of former EXMORTEM axeman Andreas Schubert.

HELL’S DOMAIN 2013 is:

* Alex Clausen (ex-GROPE, MONSTAH) – Vocals
* Bjørn Bihlet (ex-KOLDBORN, HORNED ALMIGHTY) – Guitar
* Andreas Schubert (ex-EXMORTEM) – Guitar
* Lars Knudsen (ex-CRIONIC) – Bass
* Anders Gyldenøhr (ex-HATESPHERE, ARTILLERY, GROPE) – Drums

ROADRUNNER has issued as follows:

Ed Repka is one of the most famous painters in metal. He’s done cover art for tons of great albums – probably the most famous are Megadeth‘s Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? and Rust in Peace, but he’s also illustrated records by bands like Massacre, Venom, Nuclear Assault, Death, Atheist, the Circle Jerks and many more. And naturally, Roadrunner’s hired him a time or two in the past.
Ed’s going to be at Comic-Con in New York City this coming weekend, signing at the Little Punk People booth (booth #3319) on Saturday, October 13. And we thought we’d salute his talent with a gallery of five classic covers he did for Roadrunner albums by Defiance, Toxik and 3 Inches of Blood – plus his cover for Vio-Lence‘s Eternal Nightmare, since that was Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel’s band before Machine Head was formed.
