PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS have released a video for their new single ‘Hammer And Dance’. The new track is the second song to be taken from their upcoming third album, Kings Of The Asylum, which will be released on 1st September via Nuclear Blast Records.
Phil Campbell comments “Put on your dancing shoes and get ready for hammer and dance”
Empire State Bastard descend further into darkness as they unleash the new track “The Looming.” Available today on all streaming platforms, it follows the band’s recent singles “Harvest” and “Stutter” as they power towards the September 1st release of their eagerly anticipated debut albumRivers of Heresy.
“The Looming” is an oppressive slow crush in which Mike Vennart’s grinding, maximum fuzz stoner rock riffs take on a hypnotic intensity as Simon Neil layers feral vocals with guttural death metal growls. It’s the final song on Rivers of Heresy as well as the band’s regular set closer for good reason.
