Minimal synth and drum machine with a druggy dark ambient atmosphere, clinging to a noisy borderline.

New digital audio transcription by Hal McGee
September 25, 2019

This archival reissue of Hellhole by Mental Anguish was created with the full cooperation, involvement and authorization of Harsh Reality Music label owner and compilation producer, Chris Phinney.

Hellhole is best experienced as side-long listening tracks and we have included audio files of the complete sides of the cassette so that you can hear Hellhole just like you would have in 1985. Separation into individual tracks might not be perfect. Enjoy!
