If there were any intentional themes running through this years’ advent song list (there aren’t) then one of them would surely be the welcome return of numerous names from the past. The return of fire and skill? Perhaps, perhaps. Certainly in the form of Hellfire Sermons the return of a Pop sawed off at the roots with a rusty, roughly serrated saw to leave red-raw open wounds.
If you insist on your Pop being always insipidly blow-dried and bouncy you may struggle with Hellfire Sermons but that is your loss. If instead you understand the value of striking awkward stances and evading the obvious expectation then you are in luck.
Hellfire Sermons are the sound of the natural outsiders finding treasure in the cracks in the pavement. It’s good to have them back.
