Hellwell
Originally this band was presented as a solo project of one-time
Manilla Road
bassist EC Hellwell, with MR mainman Mark Shelton helping out.
However, apparently it's since been established that Hellwell is
simply a pen name for Shelton himself, and so this is really
just a Shelton solo/side project.
Anyway, the listener should know what to expect --
Shelton has one of the most distinctive voices in metal, and even
the music isn't a million miles from Manilla Road (save the
dominant organ work originally credited to the mythical Hellwell),
though it's a bit
more thrashy, a bit more progressive,
and arguably a bit more dynamic
as well.
Two albums were released in 2012 and 2017, though the project is now
no more due to Shelton's 2018 passing.
