HELLBASTARD Press release • May 2011
HELLBASTARD are hard at work writing a new full length album, title unkown as yet but a few working track titles are in place, with songs like; "ROCKSTAR BURNING", "THROW DE PETROL BOMB...", "LIVING UNDER THE GRID" and "EMOTIONALLY RETARDED RAGING BITCH", this promises to be the angriest and most intimate of HELLBASTARD albums ever.....
HELLBASTARD fly out to SWEDEN next month to play the prestigious "PUNK ILLEGAL FEST" held yearly near GOTHENBURG, this promises to be a really feral and wild affair, lasting over three days. HELLBASTARD headline the event on SAT JUNE 25th.
HELLBASTARD also have a new VIDEO in the works with ANDREW LEFTON at the helm of controls. Mr. Lefton has just completed the new AMEBIX video "KNIGHTS OF THE BLACK SUN" for their upcoming teaser 12" to be released shortly on PROFANE EXISTENCE and ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES exclusively.
Also HELLBASTARD'S NEXT ALBUM will feature the new line-up of Scruff on Vocals/Guitars, Tom McCombe on Guitar, Paul O'Shea on Bass and Michael Brush on Drums. The same line-up that played the mammoth USA tour 2010 and the more recent "BASTARDS OVER EUROPE" tour with Boston's most hated PANZERBASTARD and the UK's own SUICIDE WATCH.
THE ULTIMATE HELLBASTARD Discography CD is planned for a release on SELFMADEGOD RECORDS sometime in 2011. This will be the first time certain tracks have ever been heard before outside of the band. Some real rarities will be included on this DOUBLE-CD affair. Comes with full colour booklet, stories, pictures and more.
HELLBASTARD also venture into the studio soon to record tracks for an exclusive SPLIT 12" picture disc vinyl also featuring USA mainstays "DRESDEN" fronted by Profane Existences' own ERIC "Bitty" PLEKAN. This will be released on PROFANE EXISTENCE sometime in 2011/2012.
Rumours abound that a mammoth USA tour for 2012 is on the cards with none other than the recently reformed ANTISECT (long time standing hardcore metal punk legends from the UK, highly influential and most revered by critics and press alike). Watch this space!
