Feral is the confrontational new studio offering from iconic UK crust metal crossover squad,Hellbastard. Tracked at the prestigious Hellfire Recording Studios (Slayer, Motörhead) in Derbyshire with Ajeet Gill, Feral includes guest appearances from Andy “A. Droid” Wiggins (ex Amebix), Rob “The Baron” Miller (ex-Amebix) and Andy Sneap (ex-Sabbat/Hell) and is unlike any other modern crossover album. An adrenaline shot of pure punk energy, filtered through some of thrash metal’s intricacies sans any of its overblown ego, this is primal, back-to-nature shit—no half measures. As the album title suggests, this is a force of nature that refuses to be tamed, and will sweep everything before it asunder, rending it apart with its violent rhythmic contortions. A social hand grenade jammed in your teeth, literally blowing your skull apart with endless possibilities.
To commemorate its release, today Revolver Magazine spews forth the smiting sounds of “Shame On Us” for municipal feasting. Replete with gang chants and an unrepentantly venomous delivery, get ruthless with Hellbastard HERE.
