The Flowers Of Hell is the 2006 instrumental self-titled debut album from the experimental rock group The Flowers of Hell.[1] It was largely recorded by Tim Holmes of Death In Vegas at the Contino Rooms in London.[2] Peter ‘Sonic Boom’ Kember of Spacemen 3 mentored the band through its creation,[3] mixed and performed on the track 'Through The F Hole',[4] contributed a liner note poem to the Japanese CD version,[5] and guest deejayed at the record's London release concert. Band leader Greg Jarvis has stated that the goal of the album was to build classical tangents from The Velvet Underground & Nico and the Spacemen 3 / early Spiritualized sound.[5]

The record was initially released in the UK in 2006 by Earworm Records (Spacemen 3, Bright Eyes, Apples In Stereo),[4] followed by a release in Japan in 2007 by Starmole Records.[6]
