The Wildhearts are set to release their new album, *Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts* – “a hard rock album for people who actually love hard rock!” – in the spring, with a UK tour planned to coincide with the release.
Arriving next spring via Snakefarm/Integral, the album was “written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive,” according to frontman Ginger Wildheart.
Ginger explains, “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!”
Alongside the album release, The Wildhearts will embark on an eight-date UK tour in March. Ginger promises, “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.”
