Jeremy Arden's second volume of Songs From Hell continues his response to the dark and disturbing states of the human condition. Pervasive forces — ever more ascendant, raw, animalistic and furious — are dragging us closer to something hellish. They demand to be named, resisted and — as the composer does here — explored through song as challenges, warnings, and humorous laments.
