“Tick Tock”, their eccentric, witty, folk-pop album, is a gem.

Taking its name from a religious tract, The Burning Hell has been slithering around in the muck in one form or another since the dawn of the millennium. Fronted by the moderately agoraphobic songwriter and occasional history teacher Mathias Kom on electric ukulele, The Burning Hell currently features between one and twelve people, depending on the night.

Possible Influences: Leonard Cohen, Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields), Handsome Family, David Byrne, Men Without Hats, Jonathan Richman

What Is Being Said About The Burning Hell:

Montreal Mirror, Mar 07 - "It was with pleasure that I discovered the Burning Hell. The mostly-ukulele music and laugh-inducing lyrics of Mathias Kom stay on the good side of silly, while still maintaining that increasingly scarce sincerity.”

BeatRoute Magazine Nov 07 - "The Burning Hell is an intriguing combination of musical prowess and lyrical perversive-ness put together with a keen eye for the details. Kom manages a seemingly impossible combination of cynicism and hope recorded over the rock version of folk music instrumentation.”

The Arthur, Best Albums of 06 - "Tick Tock is a beautiful collection of brand-spankin' new songs written by The Burning Hell (a.k.a. Mathias Kom), and performed by a collection of local musicians and instruments ranging from melodica and ukulele to Charlie Glasspool and Jenny Gleeson. The songs are full of Mathias' typical tongue in cheek "suck it up and get on with it" sense of humour intertwined with a very honest raw painting of life as we know it around these parts."
