Devil's Whorehouse
2015 Hells Headbangers
Brazil's Power From Hell has been kicking around for a while now, and "Devil's Whorehouse" is their fifth album. Much like the USA's Midnight and Norway's Nocturnal Breed, Power From Hell have a sound built around dirty rock and roll and heavy metal with a strong punk feel and attitude. Also, all three bands have a penchant for including images of topless women in their albums. I keep using "they," but in reality Power From Hell is the devilspawn of a warped individual named Sodomic. He's aligned himself with various likeminded people over the years, who either came in as session members or joined for a while and then left. Not surprisingly, Power From Hell focus on such time-honored subjects as booze, metal music and horny sluts. That list is in no particular order, and a given track may include one or more of them. In all cases though, the shadowy spectre of Satan looms above. I think the production has gotten better over time, as "Devil's Whorehouse" has a sound that is at least somewhat slicker than that of "Sadismo." You'll have to decide if that's a good or a bad thing, as the older releases have a more unbridled sound. But really, it's not like Sodomic has strayed far from the formula of the previous albums. Power From Hell is still raunchy raucous rockin' metal in all its ugly glory, the same as it ever was.
