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!”
