HELLBOUND was formed in 1999 because of the need to create some harsh and primitive Black-Metal in the old vein. Because of the members activities in other bands HELLBOUND was more or less laid on ice for more then 1 year until the compositions for new material started, which at least turned out quite raw, driven by double-bass beats and more or less not in the vein as it was planned... Finally, HELLBOUND‘s music is some kind of extreme mixture of the typical old school Black-Metal, combined with rythmical and mind melting elements. The lyrics for "Fatal Illumination" were written by Jyade Cyrthal and are deeply inspired by The Underworld experiences. HELLBOUND represents Black-Metal in its purest essence, extreme music combined with repulsive mental attitudes.
