The Burning Hell
Spring/Summer/Fall 2013
The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell spends a lot of time wandering the globe, playing both intimate shows and big festivals from Vancouver to Vilnius and everywhere in between. The band has garnered acclaim for their hyperactive live shows and their caustic yet sincere lyrics, believing as they do that songs about the inevitability of death can also be fun to dance to.
In 2012, The Burning Hell both made AND broke a record: the band recorded their newest album ‘People’ (to be released in spring 2013) in Berlin with producers Norman Nitzsche and Ramin Bijan; later in the summer, The Burning Hell set a new world record, playing ten shows in ten countries in less than 24 hours. But the band isn’t tired yet, and 2013 promises to be action-packed, with shows across Canada and Europe promoting the newest album and the newest adventure.
“People is another incredible album from one of the most innovative bands around. The songwriting is top notch, as we’ve come to expect, the arrangements are fresh and it’s easy to tell that the band had a lot of fun making the album.” – The Scope, April 9 2013
“The Burning Hell’s sixth album, People, feels sophisticated. Though still underpinned by Mathias Kom’s lyrical ingenuity – which has been a band feature since its inception – the bombastic aural chaos of earlier albums has mostly given way here to subtler, stripped-down arrangements that allow his story songs to shine.” – NOW Magazine, April 18, 2013
