The Pale Hand Unveils Video for 'Reign in Hell'


The Pale Hand has released its debut video from its upcoming album, directed by Orange Echo Films.

A love letter to old school heavy metal, the band's debut single, 'Reign in Hell', serves up fuzz-drenched riffs, a high energy groove, and lyrics inspired by Lucifer's fall from heaven. The song is a sinister, psychedelic, and thunderous descent into madness showcasing the group's unique take on doom. With a breakdown heavy enough to shake even the most seasoned listener, 'Reign in Hell' is an intense display of power and musicality.

The lyrics explore the theme of free will, delving into the doctrine that human freedom is a gift exclusive to humans, while Lucifer's rebellion only reaffirmed his predetermined fate. Drawing inspiration from John Milton's Paradise Lost, 'Reign in Hell' presents a nuanced portrayal of Satan, reimagined for the 21st century with aggressive guitars, powerful vocals, and pounding bass. In essence, The Pale Hand has harnessed the essence of hell to create a musical experience that defies convention.

As a global phenomenon, with members representing diverse cultural backgrounds, The Pale Hand is taking New York City's underground scene by storm, sharing stages with notable bands such as Castle Rat and Testament. Witnessing their live performances is akin to being immersed in the 'church of the undead', where spirituality and musical exploration converge.

The band's music delves into the conundrum of evil, questioning what truly makes a sinner a hero and exploring the corrupting influence that threatens to consume us all. With a wide range of influences spanning beyond metal, including gospel and Middle Eastern music, their shows are an immersive experience, with theatrics, interaction, and sometimes even spirituality woven into the fabric of each performance.
