Monuments to Arson: A Tribute to His Hero Is Gone LP

Forged in 1995, His Hero Is Gone was short-lived but left an impact on heavy music that resonates to this day. The band’s landmark sound is at once crushing, brutal, and marked by intense dual growling vocals. In their brief existence, the band released Fifteen Counts Of Arson (1996), Monuments To Thieves (1997), and The Plot Sickens (1998) as well as a handful of seven-inches that influenced scores of hardcore and grind bands. His Hero Is Gone took an intensely anti-corporate, anti-consumerist stance, and their lyrics often dealt with radical political ideals. They disbanded in 1999, with the various members forming several new acts, most notably the similarly pummeling Tragedy.  Monuments To Arson – A Tribute To His Hero Is Gone Track Listing: Many Blessings – Paranoia Secured deathCAVE – Leash Open Veins – Headcount Isenordal – Headless/Heartless Heiress – Like Weeds Nightmare Fuel – Surrender Old Iron – Chain of Command Githyanki – Raise the Curtain HEEL – Friendly Fire Blast Cell
