Synopsis

In the near future, Earth is under attack by the forces of Hell, where the maniacal Lord Desecrator has usurped Lucifer's rule and is now preparing a final attack on humanity itself. From his secret underground base, top exorcist and adventurer Doctor Payne fights to keep these supernatural attacks in check with a combination of science and magic.

When the girl rockers of CrowCut strike the infamous "lost chord" during band practice, they accidentally summon The Dominator to earth. The dead God of rock and roll soon finds himself battling for the Earth's survival when the new ruler of Hell, Lord Desecrator, sends three new demons to earth.

Animated madness abounds, featuring the voices of Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth and top horror star Doug "Hellraiser" Bradley, with a blistering soundtrack featuring Cradle Of Filth, Matter, SikTh, V-8 Pack, Digitalis, Synthetic, The Guillotines, Killing Mode and many more.
