Premiere: Earl Of Hell ‘Macabra Cadabra’ – Debut Self-Titled Album Releases 25th April
Rising from Edinburgh’s shadowy underbelly, Earl Of Hell hit the airwaves with an exclusive premiere here on The Shaman with the riff-drenched incantation Macabra Cadabra. A track that takes you on wild ride through fuzzed-out guitar licks, pounding drums, and the kind of snarling vocals that sound like they’ve been summoned straight from the depths of a doom rock séance.
Taken from their Self-Titled debut that’s set to be released through Copper Feast Records on 25th April, across the its four-and-a-half-minute runtime, there’s a mischievousness at play, with lyrics that wink at the occult without taking themselves too seriously, inviting listeners to join the ritual rather than sit on the sidelines. This is heavy rock that knows how to have fun as it is dark, delirious, and unapologetically loud.
Earl Of Hell aren’t just cranking amps for volume’s sake, every breakdown and every sledgehammer groove feels deliberate, crafted to keep your head banging and your senses reeling. So, what are you waiting for, click play below and let Macabra Cadabra pull you under its spell…
More On Earl Of Hell And Their Self-Titled Album
Earl Of Hell was born in 2020, just prior to the COVID pandemic which forced the UK into lockdown. They spent the first few months sharing ideas remotely and began rehearsing once restrictions finally eased.
With music venues closed, the band spent a year honing their set and wouldn’t play their first gig until August 2021 to an all seated audience. This was shortly followed by a sold-out first hometown show in Edinburgh’s legendary Sneaky Pete’s.
The band released a series of singles, Blood Disco and Arrythmia, while continuing to play around Scotland and Northern England. They finally hit the studio again in 2022 to record and release their debut EP Get Smoked on US label Slightly Fuzzed Records, receiving many positive reviews within the stoner and doom community. This was followed by an extensive run of shows, which included their first visit to London and opening for Bongzilla and Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons.
Over the summer of 2022, Earl Of Hell looked to expand their sound by recruiting a second guitarist in the person of Dan Mitchell. The band dynamic was enhanced as they immediately began writing and performing live as a five-piece, opening for touring acts such as Lightning Bolt, Gnome and The Vintage Caravan.
2023 would prove to be the most successful year yet for Earl Of Hell, playing in excess of 30 shows, including a slot at the coveted Desertfest London, a summer tour with Iceland’s Volcanova and opening for bands such as Sasquatch and Nick Oliveri’s Mondo Generator. On Halloween, they released their fourth single Impaler, rounding the year off with headline weekenders in London, the Midlands and the North of Scotland. 2024 has seen Earl Of Hell complete a successful tour with renowned multi-instrumentalist and producer Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Desert Sessions, Mark Lanegan), performing as tour support and Alain‘s own backing band.
Now, in 2025, their Self-Titled debut, which is set to be released on 25th April by Copper Feast Records, bestows a juggernaut of raucous rock ‘n’ roll delivered with relentless punk energy and brimming with enough fuzz to make your walls tremble. Mixed and mastered by Alain Johannes, it displays thoughtful yet unapologetically gritty songwriting. Embodying the spirit of bands like Alice In Chains, Killing Joke and Black Sabbath, this album pays homage to its stoner rock roots while exploring historical and futuristic concepts from Edinburgh’s infamous grave robbers to Planet Earth’s impending doom.
