Source-derived summary

This Is Hell is the first EP from the band This Is Hell. After quickly forming the band and releasing a demo ep, This Is Hell returned to the studio to work on their next release. For an early release, This is Hell generated a lot of hype and received good reviews. Some critics still argue that this was the bands finest work to date.

The sound of the EP is a continuation and expansion of the sound on their previous release. This release has more professionally done mixing and recording. It shows an even more aggressive side of the band not previously seen. Also featured on this EP are the addition of Glassjaw's singer Daryl Palumbo on the final track. The final track is also a cover of hardcore punk band 108.

Track listing

All songs written by This Is Hell, except for track 6 originally written and recorded by 108.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “This Is Hell (This Is Hell EP)” as extended play by This Is Hell. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current 152-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. The account is most persuasive where Hell, extended and play can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as extended play by This Is Hell. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7785799. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
