In a world of diminished expectations, Doug Hell defies disappointment.

Born Douglas David Hill, this unforgiving, unapologetic artist shares his soul with whoever will spare the time.

Carved out of years of mental anguish, Hell’s work exposes the virtues of atrocity encountered during the course of the human experience. This focus has created the foundation of legendary notoriety.

What can be said about about a man who goes by the moniker Doug Hell? Well, ironically he didn’t even think of that pseudonym. It was a typo of his surname printed on a government issued Disability Cheque. Pretty serendipitous for someone who’s been diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia while being bounced around the system his entire life.

He may have lost his mind but Doug has kept his stories. Documented in lonely verses and haunting choruses about the war within himself he may never win. But he’s made peace with that. His guitar has proven more effective than the years of psycho therapy and his songs are a testament that something broken can eventually be fixed.

Sure, he’s notorious for rattling cages but it’s only because he wanted to break free from his own. Doug Hell has conquered a life that would make an average person catatonic. He’s pushed on with his music as his savoir and proved Hell is only a state of mind.
