Flames of Hell

Flames of Hell was an Icelandic black metal band from Reykjavík. The band was formed in the year 1984 by Sigurður Nicolaison, Steinþór Nicolaison, and Jóhann Richardsson. They would release one LP called Fire and steel in 1987. Though the band says they are still around it is debatable due to the drug problem of Jóhann.

Fire and Steel

Fire and steel was recorded at a studio which was located at a YMCA building. When they were recording, the head master of the YMCA facility came to check out what was going on when he heard satanic music being recorded in the studio that was meant for recording Christian hymns for local churches. They were allowed to finish the recordings, but the studio was banned from the building and had to be relocated after that, and Flames of Hell were asked to please never show up there again. After the songs they recorded, they were pressed on to the Fire and Steel LP that was released through Draconian Records and is nowadays classified as a rarity among collectors.
