    Decent new black midi album, personally the instrumentation is a bit over the top at times and I’m still not awfully fond of the singers voice. Favourite Track: Welcome To Hell.

    With their third LP, Black Midi continue to put out adventurous and challenging music that keeps listeners on the tips of their toes.

    2021's Cavalcade found the group exploring a lushly orchestrated avant-prog sound, switching between spiky, angular workouts and softer, more patient compositions. Hellfire moves further in this direction, but with a greater sense of showmanship.

    ‘Hellfire’ is at once goofy and high brow. A volcanic eruption of serious silliness.
