{"product_id":"hell-2","title":"Hell 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHell 2\u003c\/em\u003e is not the first album from Austin’s Blank Hellscape, but it’s certainly the most fully-realized. OK, at least it’s the longest. The three-piece nightmare band knocked around the claustrophobic end of the house show circuit for a longish spell but right around pre-‘dermic times, the trio of Ethan Billips, Max Deems and Andrew Nogay morphed into a multi-dimensional synapse-snapper with little regard for genre nor their own self-preservation. On that front, Hell 2 was echelons in the making; it would not be an exaggeration to say the writing \/ recording \/ editing process was arduous and lengthy enough it nearly took Blank Hellscape out of the game for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut before you declare, “better luck next time”, strap yourself in to your favorite listening chair \/ apparatus and bask in this sprawling double album, to these ears, an uncanny musical \u0026amp; lyrical representation of the confusing, scary and thoroughly oppressive state we currently find ourselves in (not specifically Texas, but yes, Texas, too). I could not be more proud to dub this their long-awaited magnum opus, and not simply because doing so will totally fuck shit up for whoever puts out their next album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"12XU","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":51542544056651,"sku":"R4132-6855","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/148423_main.jpg?v=1743177994","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/hell-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
