Artist Biography
The quintessential DIY hardcore punk band, His Hero Is Gone formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1994. The band’s landmark sound is crushing, brutal, and marked by intense dual growling vocals. In their short lifetime, the band released two full-length albums and a handful of seven-inch singles, yet their catalog has influenced scores of hardcore and grind bands. HHIG took an intensely anti-corporate, anti-consumerist stance, and their lyrics often dealt with radical political ideals. They disbanded in 1999, with the various members forming several new acts, most notably the similarly pummeling Tragedy.
