Black Mass hails from Boston and brings forth pretty much everything you loved about the faster side of metal in the 1980s. Black Mass is gearing up to release their second full-length album Warlust sometime this year, and we're premiering the devastating new song "Hellhounds" today. If you've been wondering lately what old Slayer might sound like with the thrash side of Dark Throne, then look no further than "Hellhounds."

Here's what guitarist and vocalist Brendan O’Hare had to say about the song.

"Hellhounds is an analogy for power abuse and war crimes that happen in present day and the "evil masters" are supposed to represent the leaders of all the worlds super powers, the hounds representing the facets of society that they've built to destroy the peasants/enemies like poverty, addiction, depression and war itself."
