BETA Records - Your music matters!

In the hot summer of 1983, the deafening beast of Helldarodo was formed by five childhood friends in urban legend Point Pleasant, W.V. Our writing process focused primarily on political material with lots of melodies, harmonies and lyrics. As we continued to rehearse, our writing material grew stronger. In July of '84, we played our first live show at Krodel Park's 4th of July Festival. The result was an explosive show that spurred a relentless road schedule, crisscrossing our home state venue after venue. The band quickly gained a following.

But tragedy struck in the winter 84/85, and four of the members were killed in a car accident. I am the only founding member, Dan Castle. I have years of experience playing death and black metal and have played with bands such as Aces an Eights and Iron Tears. Helldarodo gives thick, powerful, and fast riffs with a powerful and explosive percussion that can only be described as American Metal songwriting at its best. Helldarodo will conquer many, many new fans and achieve new levels of success! Be prepared for something new, but full of anarchy.
