HELL MUŅECO was founded in 2008 by Frank Wells, who wanted to record some tunes he originally wrote as a follow up to World Funeral's "Caledarium et frigidarium". Having the above mentioned sludge/psychedelic project disbanded, Frank then called Gale La Gamma, ex-drummer of Demonia and great musicologist of the doom/stoner scene, behind the mic.
Giorgio Todesco, ex-Demonia and kick-ass rhythm guitarist, then completed the newborn powertrio.
HELL MUŅECO started with the intention of writing slow, groovy and heavy riffs with weird guitar harmonies and a touch of gothic.
All bandmembers are well experienced musicians, and they are influenced by stoner, heavy doom & NWOBHM bands
In 2009 they recorded their 5 songs debut, "Doom core". A second EP, "Replacing God", is scheduled for 2012.
On their debut, "Doom core", lyrics by HELL MUŅECO mainly deal with socially conscious subjects.
Their second recording will show a darker approach on the lyrical side, plus a groovier and heavier riffing.
"Doom core" chilling front cover painting was done by P.J. Scoggins, an artist from the U.S.A.
Instead, "Replacing God" cover concept comes from an idea by Gale La Gamma.
