Welcome to Hell (song)
2022 single by Black Midi
"Welcome to Hell" is a song by English rock band Black Midi, released in 2022 as the lead single from their third studio album, Hellfire. A satirical anti-war song, "Welcome to Hell" tells the story of Tristan Bongo, a soldier who engages in hedonistic acts while on shore leave to dull the trauma he has endured during war.[1]
The song was first teased with a cryptic video on the band's youtube channel on 8 May 2022. It released a day later on 9 May 2022, coinciding with the announcement of Hellfire, with a surreal music video by Gustaf Holtenäs whom previously directed the video for "Slow" from Cavalcade.[2] The music video shares the same protagonist featured in "Slow", depicted as an incel stalking a lagomorphic woman.
