Biography:
The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell has toured back and forth across Canada and Europe since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals to bars to living rooms - and once even a mental asylum in rural France. The band has garnered acclaim for their hyperactive live shows and their caustic yet sincere lyrics, believing as they do that songs about the inevitability of death can also be fun to dance to.

You were a nazi hunter,
D Asus4 A G/A G
I was a cockney punter,

We used to meet on some rainy English street,
Asus4 A G/A G D Asus4 A G/A G
You'd be looking smart I'd be in a dirty old jumper,
D Asus4 A G/A G
Despite our different social stations,
D Asus4 A G/A G
Despite my lack of vocation,
D
I'd find some piece of crucial information,
Asus4 A G/A G D
And help you bring a war criminal to justice,
Asus4 A G/A G
We had great imaginations,

We used to listen to nostalgic songs,
