Far removed from today's carbon copy bands and radio norms, Hellbroth works hard to encapsulate unrestricted creativity, tireless intelligence, a daunting ambiance, and the sonic strength of a full choir all in one shamelessly brazen package. "A band with a purpose," was said of Hellbroth, and within minutes of witnessing their live show it was not too difficult to understand why this was said. Their emotional maturity and technical experience greatly exceeds the current standards for heavy bands allowing music fans to once again relish in thought provoking art. While lines are often drawn for industry-owned bands, Hellbroth has maintained unyielding authority of both the creative and the business aspects of maintaining a band, and with their own recording studio, screen printing shop, and a host of willing personnel on hand, it is highly unlikely that they will lose that control any time soon. "It is a difficult road," said vocalist Ka'imi, when asked about their choices to go it alone, "but it's an honest and limitless road, one that we will be better off for taking." As if seeing them live was not enough to seduce the imagination, upon hearing tracks from their studio, one can only agree that all these guys really need is someone who could help to alleviate their stresses so that they could do more of the art and less of the other.

As the founders and core of the band, Ka'imi and guitarist Roger Blake have been writing and developing concepts for Hellbroth since the summer of 2000. Writing and performing all of the instruments in their recording studio, it wasn't until bassist Mike Ewing and drummer Matt Klewicki joined the band that they realized the full potential of their efforts. Not only did these two likeminded musicians support the core sound, but they helped to strengthen it with their own attributes. Elegantly melodic and captivatingly imaginative, it is the sum of all parts, the eclectic melting pot of talent and personality brought to a boil and stirred that was Hellbroth's recipe for success throughout late 2005 and into the summer of 2006.

With the valediction of Matt Klewicki and his subsequent departure from the band, the miles of pre-production files to sort through for their up coming releases, and the new 'Tentacles of the King' project--a constantly evolving epic instrumental composition being written at least in part during stage performances--Hellbroth had enough to keep them busy throughout the remainder of 2006 and 2007. As 2008 comes to a close, Hellbroth--with new bassist Doug Appedu--is gearing up for tour promotion of 2 releases, 'The Reign of Saturn' part 1, and the electronically distributed 'Tentacles of the King'.

Whether you are a fan of good music or you appreciate the complexities of a thinking man's art, you are certain to discover numerous ways to include Hellbroth in your arsenal of favorite bands. With all of the mindless mush being heard today, Hellbroth brings a refreshing sense of brilliance, angst, and emotion--a genuine inspiration to once again take pleasure in listening to great music.
