The Electric Hellfire Club

A band that has always intrigued me, but I never bothered to really take a journey with. Closest I got was their last album Electronomicon and I was disappointed outside of a few songs. I’ve heard songs from earlier albums and like those, as well as a few covers. Any albums I should pick up?

I bought a few things of their’s back in the early 90s. I wanted them so bad to be early TKK, but in reality, they were just mediocre. Most of the music I have sounds like low-fi demos.

I only have Burn Baby Burn, and it’s ok. Never bought any other full lengths, but I do have random covers from random compilations.

Yeah, Mr. 44 has a cool sound and there was a Leather Strip remix of them from back in the day that I rather liked, but that’s about it.

Part of their problem is that, imo, for the satanism schtick to work you have to either have a sense of irony (like Ghost BC or Black Sabbath) or more intellectual occult leanings (like Purson or Black Widow). When your whole routine boils down to “I hate Jesus! Satan is awesome!” you just come off like a moron.

One funny thing they did do was a cover of the Charles In Charge theme song, reworked to reference the Manson family. That was pretty hilarious.
