HELLWELL is one of the projects of Mark “The Shark” Shelton of the legendary MANILLA ROAD. On this second outing of the former, the band is joined by Randy “Thrasher” Foxe, a fellow MANILLA ROAD alumnus. According to Shelton, the band went for a heavier sound which is a bit more removed from the 70s sound than the previous HELLWELL album. While this is a unique band, the tracks have unfortunately suffered from a malaise particular to modern metal: a lack of editing in some cases.
