about

Slovenia’s answer to the first wave of black metal, HELLSWORD’s goal has always been to exhume the most ancient blackened speed metal out of the crypt it had been unrightfully interred into. Formed in 2009, the band has developed a cult following after the release of their demo ”Blasphemy Unchained”. Drawing influence from early black metal pioneers such as Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer as well as newer bands like Destroyer 666 and Nifelheim with an added touch of heavy metal, the trio comprised of Mark Massakre, Mike Manslaughter, and Ironfist now returns with their first full-length album, “Cold Is The Grave” to be released in September via Emanzipation Productions. It builds upon the band’s previous work with nine tracks ranging from face-melting speed to slower paces and dealing with topics such as devil worship, the end of the world, death, desolation, mortality, and the absurdity of human existence.The beginning of Hellsword can be traced back to 2009 and ever since, the Ljubljana trio comprising of Mark Massakre, Ironfist, and Mike Manslaughter has been dedicating themselves to the pursuit of bringing back the sound, feel, and atmosphere of the first wave of black metal. The band has, since its creation, released the now cult demo “Blasphemy Unchained” and the EP “Sounding the Seventh Bell” and has played numerous shows both in Slovenia and abroad.

Hellsword Slovenia

Hellsword was created in 2009 by Mike Manslaughter and Mark Massakre but it was not until Ironfist joined that the band found their true calling – to play simple, fast and evil no frills speed metal akin to the groups that formed the so called first wave of black metal: Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Possessed etc. Their first album, Cold is the Grave was released on 24 September 2021. ... more
