The Wildhearts - Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts return in 2025 with a brand new album.
Titled ‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’ and produced/mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Sleep Token /
Bullet For My Valentine / While She Sleeps), the record is conceived as a belated follow-up to the classic debut, ‘Earth vs The Wildhearts’.
These are songs of defiance and hope, of ragged glory, of true heart-on-sleeve emotion; songs that sound like no-one else on this planet (or the explored parts of space) - all of which holds true for the new
album, the band’s first for Snakefarm.
Lead track ‘Failure Is The Mother of Success’ sums up the album - the band’s 11th since ‘Earth vs The
Wildhearts’ - via a spectacular eight-minute lap, taking in all manner of twists and turns, and the message here is plain, forged through sharp-end experience.
Another track, ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’, features Shining/Emperor member Jorgen Munkeby as a guest saxophonist.
The Wildhearts stand as one of the finest, most productive, most consistent UK rock acts of the past 30 years.
