Chilean thrash metal newcomers HELLADDICT have officially released their explosive self-titled debut EP, Helladdict , now available across all major streaming platforms. Paying homage to the golden eras of thrash and heavy metal from the ’80s and ’90s, the EP captures the raw aggression, rebellious energy, and uncompromising attitude that defined the genre.
Formed in 2022 by Ignacio Hernández (guitar) and Mark Reynolds (bass) , HELLADDICT soon solidified their lineup with Javier Hernández (vocals) , Juan Barra (vocals) , Sebastián Ibáñez (guitar) , and Gonzalo Bayer (drums) . The band hails from the heart of La Florida , with members also representing nearby areas like Macul and Ñuñoa.
Drawing influence from legendary acts such as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Pantera , and Sepultura , as well as punk icons like Misfits, The Ramones, La Polla Records , and Suicidal Tendencies , HELLADDICT’s sound is a fierce blend of thrash metal, punk, and classic heavy metal—delivering a rebellious musical statement with powerful riffs and socially charged lyrics.
The EP was recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Roberto Abarza at Estudio Rockfels , capturing the band’s raw live energy and unfiltered sonic identity.
“Our music is both a tribute and a declaration. We channel the attitude and sounds of the old school, but speak to the chaos of the present day. HELLADDICT is about reclaiming the fire that metal was built on.” – Helladdict
With strong reception from both underground fans and critics, HELLADDICT is currently working on their first full-length album, set to release later this year.
