History

[edit]
The city of Rio de Janeiro, where the band was created

Helltrench was created on the 5th of March 2023[1], under the name of HellCirkus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by Nikolai and Laurie Trinchero with Nikolai on vocals and Laurie on drums, on the same day Nikolai would also take on duties as the guitarist of the band, thus creating their first official lineup. Helltrench was originally called HellCirkus but changed it’s name due to it sounding too similar to another band’s name, it was then renamed to Forest of Hell due to Rio’s nature and violence, however the name was too long and eventually the band settled for the name Helltrench.[2]

Isolation (2023)

[edit]

Isolation was the first song ever recorded by Helltrench, it marked the beginning as they were still largely experimenting with incorporating different elements of other metal subgenres. It was recorded and produced in the band's home and was distributed as an MP3 audio file. Zeca Mattos joined the band on April 2023 after listening to the song. Isolation was released on March 30th, 2023[3]

Helltrench and Freedom is Slavery (2023-present)

[edit]

After Isolation was released, the band started to record demos of certain songs they had written. In June 2023 Helltrench began working on their debut album Freedom is Slavery with many lyrics being written that year, however rehearsals for the album would only start the following year. In August 2023 the band would part ways with Zeca Mattos, he remained on amicable terms with the band, he had not contributed to any songs nor had he rehearsed with them. Rehearsal sessions for Freedom is Slavery officially commenced on May 2024, after their first rehearsal Laurie would take on the duties of backing vocals. September 28th 2024 would mark the band's first concert, with Zeca Mattos as a guest performing bass during the entire show, the show was recorded by Rafael Miranda, who helped with setting up that show. In late 2024 Nikolai and Laurie decided to record an EP featuring songs that would later be featured on their debut album, as a way to present something thus enhancing the possibilities of getting to play more shows. Rafael, who had been involved in the band but wasn’t a part of it, joined in December 2024 serving as a rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist but this was short-lived as he would officially step down from Helltrench not too long after joining due to technical reasons. Recording for this EP was held over the timespan of three days, taking place on November 26th, December 29th 2024 and January 25th 2025 respectively, with it being released on January 28th 2025.[4]
