HEX ENDUCTION HOUR

Description

1982 was a pivotal year for The Fall. Their critically acclaimed album "Hex Enduction Hour" was released in March on Kamera Records, closely followed by "Room To Live" in September of the same year. "Hex Enduction Hour" was The Fall's fourth studio album, building on their lo-fi output and featuring a two-drummer line-up. The album was recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Featuring the classic line-up of Mark E. Smith alongside Steve Hanley (bass), Craig Scanlon (guitar), Karl Burns (drums), Paul Hanley (drums), and Marc Riley (guitar).Formed by its only constant member, Mark E. Smith, The Fall formed in Manchester in 1976 and was one of the most important post-punk bands in the world. Musically, there were several stylistic changes over the years, but it was often characterised by an abrasive guitar sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics. “They are always different; they are always the same.” John Peel
