Overview

The Hellpreacher is a concept album that gives the listener a first person perspective into the life a prison inmate turned priest. The album begins when the protagonist is only a child and follows him through a childhood full of rape and abuse which eventually finds the protagonist incarcerated, undergoing more physical abuse and rape.
