Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home

Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home

Four albums in, Floridian deathcore mob Bodysnatcher is all about revenge. Hell is Here, Hell is Home is a merciless collection of songs driven largely by the family trauma and personal grievances of drummer/lyricist Chris Whited, who recently lost two siblings to opioid overdoses just one year apart. You can hear the anger and frustration on “May Your Memory Rot,” a song directed at another family member. Skull-crushers “Writhe and Coil,” “Violent Obsession,” and “The Maker” call for vengeance with gang vocals while delivering a heavily beefed-up take on the tough-guy hardcore tactics of Hatebreed and Terror. In that spirit, Terror vocalist Scott Vogel makes a guest appearance on “Survive or Die,” teaming up with Bodysnatcher vocalist Kyle Medina to challenge an unnamed adversary.
