Hell Comes Home Premiere Their Dialled-in ‘Dying Breed’ EP
Arkansas old-school heavy metal act Hell Comes Home premiere their brutal and enormous debut EP ‘Dying Breed.’

Fire, fury, and aggression have come together, and they are working in complete harmony on Hell Comes Home’s new EP, Dying Breed. This is your first listen to the duo’s debut EP ahead of its official release tomorrow. Featuring five tracks, this is a must-listen for any fan of classic metal who appreciates epic breakdowns, enormous riffs, and the most brutal of vocals.
Lead singer Sam Simmons and guitarist Nick Stambuck have been lifelong fans of metal. It has been their dream to take all of those influences, combine them together, and put their own spin on the music they love. Bringing together a broad range of concepts, Dying Breed is their musical interpretation of these topics. Metal has always been a genre that enables a specific type of self-expression, and the duo takes full advantage of that space.
To elaborate on that point, Simmons and Stambuck state:
“Hey V13 Readers! Our debut EP Dying Breed is a project that we poured our hearts and souls into, and we sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
“Dying Breed stands as a unique and powerful work in its own right, featuring massive riffs and brutal vocals that come straight from the depths. This EP offers a profound musical exploration of themes such as tyranny, honour, life and death, inner torment, space and time, and much more. With vocalist Sam Simmons and guitarist Nick Stambuck, both of whom have a lifelong background in music and a deep passion for metal, we have forged a collection of hard-hitting, timeless tracks.
“Our paths crossing felt like a destiny written in the stars, and we believe Dying Breed is just the beginning of something much greater. Thank you for being part of our journey.”
As fans of metal and now makers of it, Hell Comes Home are fully and completely old school. Simmons and Stambuck both hail from Northwestern Arkansas, where they grew up with an appreciation of the metal forefathers. Stambuck, particularly, was most inspired by the golden age of thrash metal, with bands like Iron Maiden and Megadeth serving as his earliest and most important influences. Simmons likewise appreciated these bands but was also into more modern metalcore and deathcore acts. Bring Me the Horizon and Suicide Silence stand out as two of his most appreciated bands.
Simmons and Stambuck complement each other extremely well, joining their influences together to develop a unique sound. An underrated element of metal is intensity, and these two fellows have an abundance of that. Not just a dominant and commanding frontman, Simmons is also a former army airborne ranger. He also plays semi-professional football, fights competitively, and bodybuilds. Metal is more than a job for these fine young men; it’s also a lifestyle, and they hope that you’ll find some commonality and even comfort in their brutal intensity.
