This Place Hell Alt-Metal / Co. Dublin

All members of the band had been playing in their local music scenes for the last decade in various bands and other projects, guitarist Mick Hynes, bassist Dylan Scully and drummer Ryan Cummins having previously been in a metal band decided to regroup and play the music they wanted to hear. This led to them writing what would become the music for ‘The Devil Wants Her Swagger Back’. After recruiting Stephen Cannon on vocal duties they quickly released a demo called “Sign Here….” which received great reviews including 5/5 from Shredload. Exploding onto the live scene and generating a fan base quickly the band were asked to play Slipknots album launch to a sold out Mezz in Dublin in 2014. After gigging around the country relentlessly, the band took part and secured a finalist spot in the Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses competition in 2015. Their rising popularity only increased with the release of a double single; “Eat This & Monster in Me” which prompted their first music video for “Monster in Me”. Just one week after releasing the video the band set on their first UK tour where they were received with great enthusiasm, playing in Sheffield, Manchester and Mansfield. In 2016 the band began recording their first EP “Malice” only breaking to play at Agressive Music Feat in Czech Republic where their merch table was swarmed having been previously totally unknown in the country. In late 2016 the band felt the need to evolve and add another layer to their music and recruited long time friend of the band Damien Regan on second guitarist duties and immediately began writing new material. The first of which, “End Game” was released as a music video in February 2017. Their second EP “Contempt” is due out September 2017 and will be the first to feature Regan on second guitar.

Having just finished their Russian tour in April 2017, and playing with UK hardcore psychos HECK and Employed To Serve they decided to change their name from ‘The Devil Wants Her Swagger Back’ to ‘This Place Hell’. The band are also scheduled to play at Mammothfest Brighton in October alongside bands like Fleshgod Apocalypse and Rotting Christ.

Constantly moving forward and being ahead of the curve with technology, social media and audience interaction This Place Hell have a hunger for success and success is the only option.
