"Hell Symphony" stands as ROOT's seminal second album, unleashed in 1992. It remains one of the most malevolent and distinct black metal recordings in history, with each track serving as a hymn to one of the many incarnations of the Prince of Darkness. While ROOT's era coincided with the emergence of the second wave of black metal, their sound was far from conventional, setting them on a path of individuality that defied imitation, both before and after them. A major factor contributing to their uniqueness was the extraordinary vocal prowess of Big Boss. This album marked their first venture into English lyrics, and despite their somewhat tentative grasp of the language, they delivered a liturgical and profoundly sinister atmosphere. "Hell Symphony" serves as the harrowing soundtrack for your descent into the very depths of hell and remains a benchmark among the most exceptional and influential creations ever to emerge from Eastern Europe.
