After a nearly nine-year hiatus, The Electric Hellfire Club, led by Thomas Thorn, is reuniting for a special show in Tampa on October 30, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of their second album, Kiss the Goat. This one-off performance features supporting acts Pontifex and Burned at the Stake, culminating in a unique Satanic Mass officiated by Rev. Andy Howl. Thorn, who has roots in various punk and electronic bands, previously stated in 2016 that EHC would never create new music again; however, there are hints of new material in the pipeline.
Given this resurgence, is the revival of The Electric Hellfire Club indicative of a broader trend in the music industry where older acts are reuniting or creating new content, and what does that say about the relationship between nostalgia and creativity in today’s musical landscape?
