\"Hellysh\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

With their fourth album, \u201cHeksenk\u00e4ssel,\u201d the East Frisian trio Hellysh serves up old-school Scandinavian death metal. Philipp, Lenny, and JM talk about their good connections abroad, strange tropical fruits, and the weather way up in the northwest. <\/p>\n\n

East Frisian Air<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As mentioned, East Frisia is the home of Hellysh. There seems to be a whole cluster of death metal bands here. Just think of Weak Aside, Slaughterday, or Temple of Dread. Is it because of the weather or the landscape? Philipp laughs. \u201cDefinitely the weather. Maybe it\u2019s also the desolate landscape between the dune ditches. Just kidding\u2014East Frisia has always been a bit different. And maybe there\u2019s just something in the air here. In any case, we feel right at home here and are also honored to be mentioned in the same breath as these great bands. To be honest, we have absolutely no idea why death metal is doing so well in Eastfreezeland of all places.\u201d The family collaboration is also going smoothly, as drummer JM reports. \u201cI was raised differently musically. But I had to submit to my father-in-law\u2019s tyranny, haha.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
