Behind The Demon Eyes is the second album from Manilla Road main man Mark Sheltons side project entitled Hellwell and is slated to be released April 14th, 2017. This album follows 2012s Beyond The Boundaries of Sin which was a pretty decent effort from one of the titans of cult metal. It was very heavy but had almost a progressive element to it with a lot of organ backing the songs up. Sheltons vocals also were a lot lower than you typically expect from him. However, it wasnt quite death metal but just a unique dark voice (think Cirith Ungol a bit but lower). However, it was something that never became huge or gained tons of recognition but the album overall was decent. Now here we are with their second effort. What Mark Shelton and his bandmates have managed to do is not only make a solid heavy metal record but they pulled out all the stops to make it as powerful and creative as possible. With a lot of intense playing, the sheer epicness of some of these songs it is definitely worth your time. However, because it is only six songs, some of them are quite long so it isnt an album that hits you right away, it is an album that you set on the turn table on your day off and play all the way through and I can appreciate that.
