HELLRAZOR 2022 RELEASE

What do you get when you add a table spoon of Judas Priest, half an oz of Def Leppard and a sprinkle of Ghost into a blender?
Born in the North. Raised on riffs. Built for mayhem.
Hailing from Canada, hard rock/metal band HELLRAZOR is a force tearing through the silence with seismic riffs, thunderous drums, driving bass, and vocals that hit like a punch to the chest. Forged in the frost of the North, the sound is a lethal mix — a perfect storm of crushing heaviness and melodic hooks that stay with you long after the last note fades. It’s raw, it’s real — HELLRAZOR channels the power of classic metal and the rebellious spirit of modern rock, delivering songs packed with fist-pumping anthems and singable choruses that are undeniably catchy. From the depths of shadowed realms to the echoes of a rising storm, HELLRAZOR delivers powerful, unforgettable tracks infused with theatrical flair and wrapped in razor-sharp riffs. No fluff. No filters. Just pure, high-voltage sound that ignites and wakes the dead.

Just had a listen to Hanging On By A Thread. I love your work, it's very tight and classy with really outstanding vocal arrangement and layers. Perfect singing and effective and smart utilization of layers. Great musical impact, too, coming from a classical old-school era of metal. I come across old-school metal a lot, however yours stand out as very classy and tight.
Keep up the good work!
Mike
Intense and captivating melodies with forceful vocals in a heavy-metal album.
Hellrazor is a heavy-metal band that recently released a new album titled Hanging On By A Thread. In the 11-track project, you get powerful melodies with loud distorted guitars and forceful vocals.
Starting out with extremely intense and energetic songs, from the middle to the end, the album becomes more melancholic and sorrowful. The melodies grow slower and the lyrics seem to be more intimate. They talk about different topics, from love to family, with some good references to other rock bands. For instance, in “The Boy You Once Knew,” the lyrics quote the famous Guns’ N Roses with Sweet Child O’ Mine.
With great storytelling and energetic beats through using an exploratory heavy-metal style, Hellrazor manages to deliver a very good album.
After a twelve year hiatus and returning with explosive aplomb, HELLRAZOR feels like everything is ending with the warning song we needed to hear on the powerful track Hanging On By A Thread.
HELLRAZOR is a Kasey Haze-fueled indie rock project by the well-respected guitarist/singer-songwriter who certainly isn’t shy about turning up the volume.
Among many accomplishments, HELLRAZOR beat out 179 Canadian bands to play in Emergenzas worldwide music festival placing 22 overall out of thousands of bands.” ~ HELLRAZOR (taken from their website)
Urging us to break free from the clutches of the world, HELLRAZOR rips up the couches and gets that frustration out with a modern day classic for the hardworking and freedom-chasing folks out there.
”I was in the process of writing more songs and had lots of ideas for HELLRAZOR back in 2008. But the band broke up, nothing was recorded and everything was shelved. I never used any of the material for other projects because they were HELLRAZOR.” ~ Kasey Haze in 2020
Hanging On By A Thread from indie rock underground party starters HELLRAZOR is a song for anyone who has felt like they aren’t wanted anymore. Electrified to a level many will find ear-bursting, this is a wake up and get away from anything that isn’t making you happy anthem.
So I listened to your song; I loved it, amazing Retro Heavy energy with big guitar riffs, vocals are solid too. HELL YEAH guys, great job \m/ !! I'm leaving now to share your project in my social networks and spotify playlist.
Thanks again and good luck! Pierre

Solid title, fairly conventional. With a catchy melody. Superb voice, which does not spoil anything. Modern sound served by a very effective rhythm. Cheer !
