His Hero Is Gone (often abbreviated HHIG) was an influential crust and sludge metal band from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1995 from members of Copout , Man With Guns Lives Here and FaceDown, they disbanded in 1999, playing their last show in Memphis. They toured the U.S. extensively several times, as well as Europe and Japan. They released a total of 6 records: Fifteen Counts of Arson,and Slit EP. with Union of Uranus (limited edition of 1,000) which was the last recording completed with original band member Pat Davis, Monuments to Thieves debut of new guitarist Yannick Lorraine formerly of Union of Uranus from Canada,The Plot Sickens, and two 7” EPs The Dead of Night in Eight Movements and Fool’s Gold as well as a 1995 Demo tape entitled Medicine of Thieves. Simultaenously or afterwards band members played in the bands Deathreat, Call The Police, Dimlaia, Warcry, Union of Uranus and more. The core of the band Todd Burdette, Paul Burdette, Yannick Lorraine went on to form the hardcore punk band Tragedy. His Hero is Gone was characterized by heavily distorted “thick sounding” guitars, lyrics featuring social commentary much of which include anti-consumerist themes. The band and related projects have remained under the radar of a mainstream audience by not promoting themselves via tools of mass communication such as websites or larger music labels.
Including Tragedy, Severed Head of State, From Ashes Rise, Cursed, Assück and more…

I remember getting huge catalogs from the now-defunct Initial Records, and they described HHIG as power-violence, so that was my reference point for them for years

It's awesome how Fifteen Counts of Arson actually has crust and sludge tracks.

Fifteen Counts Of Arson remains as one of my favorite, heavy/crust/thrash influenced hardcore bands of the late 90's. Even with a background in crust/thrash, they managed to gain more and more fans who normally wouldn't like the sort. Seeing them live was always a great time. Wish there were more bands with their mindset in music. Tragedy comes close, but no cigar.

"I always thought they were power violence" You know, now that you mention it....they do sound like powerviolence. I had always tagged them as crust/sludge but that never really sit well with me. of course, i've never really knew for sure what the hell defined crust and sludge. :/

neo crust? i fucking hate that genre name. His hero is gone were a heavy punk band, taking influence from lots a shit. They definately arent a screamo band - saetia and all that bullshit is screamo. bands like union of uranus are sometimes tagged as emo violence which is also a bullshit name, but i think his hero is gone has more in common with that than screamo, mainly coz they shared members, came from the same scene and stuff.
