The Wildhearts announce new album and eight-date UK tour
Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts – “a hard rock album for people who actually love hard rock!” – will drop in spring, with the band also hitting the road at the same time…
The Wildhearts have announced their brand-new album, Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts.
Arriving next spring via Snakefarm / Integral, the record was “written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive” according to Ginger Wildheart.
The frontman continues: “I realised how much control I have over my mental health, and the songs came from that understanding. There’s everything here – catchy choruses, proper fuck-off riffs, anger, frustration, acceptance and revelation, with plenty of insane detours. The album starts pessimistic and ends up like, ‘Ah, so I can turn my life around?’
“Sometimes you have to start from the very bottom, your darkest point. We have more control over our emotions than we think. We control the outcome by how we respond. Once I started learning that, the songs came pissing out. It’s a hard rock album for people who actually love hard rock!”
To coincide with the release of Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts, they’ll be hitting the road for an eight-date tour in March, with Ginger promising that, “We’ll be taking a full evening’s entertainment on tour, kicking off with party-punks Dirt Box Disco, going to rock’n’roll church with Jim Jones and being flayed alive with The Wildhearts. The party starts when the doors open, so get a buzz on and get down early.
“Come join The Wildhearts’ community gathering. We guarantee you’ll leave with the spirit of rock’n’roll firmly restored.”
