The Burning Hell are re-releasing their third album, Baby, for its ten-year anniversary – and this time on vinyl. Back when Baby first saw daylight, the world was practically a whole different place. In 2009 we were still asking “What the heck is going on?” but with far fewer expletives mixed in. It was a time of relative innocence: Barrack Obama was peddling hope and everyone was still trying to come grips with the phenomenon of sparkly vampires. Given the gross shift in perspective the last decade has brought, we thought it prudent to check in with Mathias Kom, the loquacious lyricist himself, to see where things stood for him at the time of the album’s original release.

Tales From The Road: The Burning Hell
The Burning Hell might be Newfoundland’s answer to Cake, but better. Loquacious lyricist and front man Mathias Kom has a gift for saturating songs with as much story as they can possibly hold, and delivers them in a flat, matter of fact, manner like he’s casually unravelling his tale to you at the side of a bar. The songs from their latest album, Public Library, are as rich as you can get inside of six minutes, but he comes by it honestly. Here’s his story about touring through the UK, and what eventually became the basis for their song, ‘The Road’: Continue reading Tales From The Road: The Burning Hell
