Dress up in black, open a bottle of beer and sing along with HELLGREASER!

HELLGREASER return with their new album "HYMNS OF THE DEAD"!
Three years after the release of "Symphonies of Horror" and the split-EP "Greensleeves" with "THE CRIMSON GHOSTS" in 2022, the band will present their first album in the new line-up on 21/06/2024 via Sunny Bastards Records/Cargo.

Since 2020, band founder Slaughter Lamb has finally established a new, stable line-up with Chris Cranium (ex-The Other / Sumerian Tombs / The Omega Swarm), Fab McIan (ex-Schelmish) and Dr Hoffmann. The four of them deliver a gritty punk rock record with influences from gothic rock and a pinch of metal that goes beyond the usual genre boundaries of horror punk.
Since the tour with "BLOODSUCKING ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE" in January, Hellgreaser are supported by new guitarist Gabo.

Due to the integration of a second guitar, the twelve new songs are faster, heavier and more melodic than before. In tracks like "Take it all away", "The fiends in me" and "Seasons of my life" synths expand the band's sound, while in the Wednesday Addams bow "Her other side" a rock'n'roll piano to the shuffle groove is a must and even the scene's great NIM VIND contributes guest vocals and guitars.

Lyrically, the band has become more diverse, dealing not only with horror figures, but also with dark personal themes and the horrors of contemporary reality. But the party is not missing and so HELLGREASER celebrate the scene, the music, their outsider existence and themselves in "Hymn Of The Dead" - together with Hans from LEFT HAND BLACK!

When it came to producing the album, HELLGREASER went their own way with Mario Dahmen at Liquid Aether Audio, forgoing triggers and samples for the sake of Rock'n'Roll. Instead, real drums were recorded live along with the bass, and of course the guitars were run through real amps and speakers! The decision to go for an authentic sound without the use of digital samples has really paid off. This album is heavy, but there is a real band playing.

Following 'Dead Like You', the second digital single 'The Fiends In Me' with video will be released on 12/04/2024.
