BIO:

Cleveland, Ohio… A town where sports come to die and metal comes to live. A city that has seen its share of metal titans by their own rights. In 2005, the city would give birth to another bastard of speed and aggression. VINDICATOR continues to unleash their signature brand of thrash metal to die-hard fans of the genre and the unsuspecting alike.

Hellir was founded in 2023 as a solo project by Daniel Shaneyfelt as a way to experiment with ideas that didn’t suit other projects. He released the first Hellir record Wheel of Ghosts in 2024, which blends elements of black metal, 80s synth pop, vapor wave, thall, and cinematic music.

Soon after recording Wheel of GhostsHellir welcomed Dylan Webb on drums, helping push the duo’s sound into heavier and more technical territory.
