German extreme metal band IN THIS HELL has released “There Are No Voices”, the first single from its upcoming debut studio album, Bliss. Available since July 10, 2026 through Trollzorn and SMP Records, the track introduces a violent musical universe built from death metal, thrash metal and black metal.

Formed in Coburg, Germany, IN THIS HELL brings together the raw character of 1980s and 1990s extreme metal with the density, precision and stylistic freedom of modern heavy music. “There Are No Voices” establishes that identity through relentless riffs, hostile vocals and an atmosphere shaped by instinct, psychological collapse and moral disintegration.
The band’s debut album, Bliss, is scheduled for release on October 9, 2026.
A Modern Collision of Death, Thrash and Black Metal
“There Are No Voices” does not attempt to fit comfortably within a single extreme metal category.
Death metal provides much of the track’s physical weight, while thrash metal adds speed, rhythmic urgency and aggressive guitar movement. Black metal influences appear through the darker atmosphere, abrasive vocal delivery and sense of emotional instability surrounding the composition.
Rather than separating these styles into clearly defined sections, IN THIS HELL combines them into a single modern extreme metal attack. The song feels unpredictable without losing its direction, moving between tightly controlled riffs and more chaotic passages.
Fans of Immortal, Belphegor, Abbath, Mayhem, Slipknot and Eisregen may recognize familiar elements in the band’s approach. However, IN THIS HELL avoids becoming a direct imitation of any individual influence.
The result is rooted in traditional extreme metal but informed by the broader sound of contemporary heavy music.
The Decline of Reason and the Triumph of Instinct
The concept behind “There Are No Voices” explores the gradual destruction of reason and the growing power of instinct.
According to the band, the track marks the beginning of a story in which rational thought loses control and primitive impulses begin to dominate. This internal conflict is represented through three characters associated with the members of IN THIS HELL.
The Henchman and the Fool combine to create a King who is divided by instinct and doubt.
This imagery gives the song a psychological and theatrical dimension. The violence is not only external. It takes place inside the mind, where morality, discipline and identity begin to collapse.
The track presents the human psyche as a battlefield. Reason attempts to maintain order, while instinct pushes toward destruction, power and self-deification.
This idea is central to the wider universe of IN THIS HELL. The band describes its music as an exploration of the darkest corner of the human mind, a place where raw urges consume reason and morality disappears.
Extreme Metal Without Creative Restrictions
IN THIS HELL was formed in 2023 by three musicians who believed the world probably did not need another extreme metal band, but decided to create one anyway.
That self-aware beginning reflects the band’s refusal to follow a rigid formula.
At its core, the music draws from the death, thrash and black metal traditions of the 1980s and 1990s. However, the members do not limit themselves to a nostalgic recreation of those decades.
Their philosophy is simple: anything is possible, provided that it hits hard, moves the audience and leaves a lasting impression.
“There Are No Voices” demonstrates this unrestricted approach. The song uses recognizable extreme metal foundations while allowing different influences to collide. Old-school aggression meets contemporary production, rhythmic weight and a more modern understanding of genre boundaries.
Instead of treating death metal, black metal and thrash metal as separate traditions, IN THIS HELL uses them as components within a broader musical language.
Three Characters Inside the Same Hell
IN THIS HELL consists of three members:
- Pharatyr on vocals and lead guitar
- F.N. on drums
- Sarkaz on rhythm guitar
The band members are also connected to the characters found within the conceptual world of the music.
This character-driven approach gives IN THIS HELL a distinctive identity beyond its instrumental intensity. The members are not simply performing songs about darkness. They are presenting different forces within a fractured psychological system.
The Henchman represents action and obedience. The Fool introduces instability and irrationality. Together, these forces create the King, a figure trapped between power, doubt and uncontrolled instinct.
This concept may develop further across the upcoming Bliss album, which promises to examine the internal processes through which one person psychologically destroys another in an attempt to achieve absolute power.
“There Are No Voices” Introduces the Bliss Album
The release of “There Are No Voices” officially begins the campaign for IN THIS HELL’s debut album, Bliss.
The album will be released on October 9, 2026 through Trollzorn and SMP Records, with digital distribution handled by Recordjet.
A second single and music video, “The Sound of Breaking Bones”, is currently planned for August or September. The title suggests that the band will continue exploring physical violence, psychological pressure and the darker limits of human behavior.
The Bliss album follows a 2024 EP also titled There Are No Voices. That earlier release established the foundations of the band’s identity, while the upcoming full-length record is positioned as a more complete expression of its musical and conceptual direction.
The contrast between the title Bliss and the band’s violent imagery appears deliberately uncomfortable. In the world of IN THIS HELL, bliss may not represent peace or happiness. It may describe the moment when instinct completely defeats reason.
An Official Video Built Around the Band’s Dark Universe
“There Are No Voices” is accompanied by an official music video.
The video expands the song’s atmosphere and gives listeners an initial look at the visual identity surrounding the Bliss era. Its presentation reinforces the track’s themes of internal conflict, transformation and mental disintegration.
For an extreme metal band, visual storytelling can be as important as the music itself. IN THIS HELL uses characters and symbolism to create a world that can continue across songs, videos and future live performances.
This approach gives the release a cinematic quality without weakening the direct impact of the music.
A Strong Introduction to Germany’s New Extreme Metal Underground
Germany has a long history of influential thrash, death, black and industrial metal. IN THIS HELL enters that tradition with a sound that acknowledges the past without remaining trapped inside it.
“There Are No Voices” is an effective first single because it clearly presents the band’s main qualities. It is intense, stylistically open and built around a strong conceptual identity.
The song should appeal to listeners who enjoy the freezing atmosphere of black metal, the physical force of death metal and the forward momentum of thrash. Its modern interpretation of those genres also makes it suitable for audiences interested in more contemporary forms of extreme music.
IN THIS HELL may have started with the idea that nobody needed another extreme metal band, but “There Are No Voices” provides a convincing argument for its existence.
The track hits hard, introduces a disturbing narrative and establishes a band willing to explore extreme metal without boxes or blinders.
