After a whirlwind of high velocity singles that included the first ever song released on a slice of pizza, a viral moment with famed bald headed music critic and a vast conspiracy theory involving Garth Brooks, Louisville thrash metalheads, BELUSHI SPEED BALL have at last released their massively anticipated new album Stellkira now!

Commenting on the monumental release, lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano says: 

“As a wise man once said, ‘The cream will rise to the top.’ We are so proud to present the world with our Seventeenth Chapel, Stellkira. The greatest generic crossover pizza thrash album to feature a catorcycle on the cover. An unrelenting disasterpiece that is guaranteed to make you forget all about your stay at Saltburn. This truly is our favorite musical composition to date. And we know it will be yours too! You can’t make the scene if you don’t got the green.” 

Featuring the standout tracks “My Favorite Color Is Pizza,” “This Is The Peak” and “Garth, Let My Family Go,” Stellkira is a relentless, unbridled, aural assaulting thrill ride of thrash chaos that’s chock full of ludicrous lyrics and absolutely punishing riffs. 

Reserve your table at metal’s Chuck E. Cheese and grab a piping hot slice of Stellkira from one of the best bands in pizza thrash game to do it!

About BELUSHI SPEED BALL:

Belushi Speed Ball is a Kentucky-based band founded in 2013 as a studio project amongst friends with a penchant for cliché crossover thrash. Their first live performances came soon after, enthralling a rapidly growing fanbase with a uniquely interactive brand of theatrics and unorthodox approach to releases and merch.

Dubbed “one of the funniest fucking things I have heard this year” by The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano, Belushi Speed Ball are inspired by bands from Toxic Holocaust and Anthrax to Gwar and Municipal Waste, to whom they simultaneously play homage and satirize a mean comment from a fan in their song “Ripping off Municipal Waste”, which was voted one of Leo Magazine’s top 20 songs of 2022. With a reputation for both trashing venues and meticulously cleaning them up after each individually themed performance, Belushi Speed Ball are masters of executing the unthinkable.  From playing out of a Mad Max-esque moving van and starting Terminator-inspired 300-person Nerf gun fights to releasing entire albums in N64… or Furby… formats, nothing is sacred as they continue evolving as, in the words of Metalsucks, “a freakshow of blistering thrash dedicated to laughing its ass off at blistering thrash.” 

This year, Belushi Speed Ball are readier than ever to keep that momentum going, with yet another album mastered to perfection by Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust, as well as a host of festival appearances, tours, and merch set to drop over the months to come.

Belushi Speed Ball Lineup:

Vinny Crastellano – Vocals
Jamison Land – Guitar
Derrek Tipton – Guitar

The truth is out there! Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen these days, but one of the most shocking and intriguing in years is one posed by the popular podcast “Your Mom’s House,” who’ve asked the real important question: Is Garth Brooks a serial killer? Well, Louisville truth seekers and thrash metalheads BELUSHI SPEED BALL have chosen to immortalize the theory on their latest single “Garth, Let My Family Go,” which begs for closure and information on where the bodies are buried.

Commenting on the track, lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano says: 

“Garth, we are begging you please, just give us closure. Where are the bodies Garth, WHERE ARE THE BODIES!? We know you are sitting there thinking to yourself, “Somebody stop me”. But no one has been able to. Please for the love of god!“

From the band that brought you “My Favorite Color Is Pizza,” a blistering love song about spicy pie, and “This Is The Peak,” a raging track dedicated to an infamous bald headed critic, comes the latest metal masterpiece “Garth, Let My Family Go.” Watch the 8-bit video for the song here:

Crastellano adds about the video: 

“The Garth segment of “Your Mom’s House” is one of our favorite bits ever. We wanted to pay homage to the genius prophecy, in the only way we know how… with satire. Allegedly, in a remote area, an area most known for its remoteness, sit’s Garth with cheese sandwiches, thinking to himself, “somebody stop me! We proudly present all of this alleged glory captured in an 8-bit music video.“

Crastellano says of the upcoming album:

“We are proud to present the world with, ‘Stellkira.’ An album that truly encompasses the DNA that embodies the entity Belushi Speed Ball. Our fans can expect an unrelenting punch to the gut dripping with pepperoni grease. This is what happens when you go beyond sixteen chapels and make the mythical seventeenth! Hold on to your lug nuts, It’s time for an overhaul!”

Louisville thrash metalheads BELUSHI SPEED BALL recently served up a piping hot slice of their new album, Stellkira, with the single “My Favorite Color Is Pizza.” Now, the band is back to pay homage to a certain bald critic with their latest track “This Is The Peak.” It’s all downhill from here folks! 

Commenting on the track, lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano says: 

“Anthony Fantano reviewed our last album, calling it “the funniest F—ing thing he has heard all year”. We quickly sat down and wrote a song dedicated to that man’s meaty thick thighs. This is it, THE PEAK! We have accomplished the highest level of achievement in music. Our love for melon is forever immortalized through sound. Hold on sugar, daddy has a sweet tooth tonight!”

There are bands who do things by the book…and then there is Louisville, KY’s own BELUSHI SPEED BALL, who have successfully thumbed their collective nose at conformism since 2013. Belushi Speed Ball nominally play an aggressive brand of crossover thrash, but their focus on absurdity and unorthodox aesthetics allows them to stand in a category of their own creation. 

Notorious for thrashing (and trashing) venues with their eccentric theatrical performances, every Belushi Speed Ball live experience is deliberately very different from the one prior. Their most recent performance, to paint a vivid picture, was a post-pandemic show where the band played from a moving van, visiting socially distanced bar patios while dressed in apocalyptic Mad Max attire. Each unique live experience is documented on the band’s official youtube channel, “The Señor Diablo Show.” In the words of Leo Weekly, “Watching a Belushi Speed Ball show is a lot like going to a pro wrestling event. There are costumes, outlandish characters and antics, raw energy and the key ingredient: an involved audience.”

To date, the band has released their music on notably obscure media. Prior releases include an album on a comic book, a working album for Gameboy Advance, and a single housed within the bowels of a Furby. Keeping with non-conformist tradition, their newest album will be released on (literal!) tapestry, which includes an informational VHS tape.

Stella 1 and Stella 2 is a double EP set to release January 21st, 2021 via sonaBLAST! Records on CD, digital streaming, and tapestry. Alongside a veritable bevy of crossover bangers, this release features the brand new single “We Are Not Thrashers, We are Hipster Posers,” which was written in response to a harsh youtube comment left in regards to Belushi Speed Ball‘s physical appearance. Says vocalist Senor Diablo in regards to this latest opus: “We are super excited to have worked with Joel Grind and Chase Bensing in producing our new double EP. Keeping with the theme of obscure media release, we are proud to present our new album with informational VHS on literal wall tapestry, in addition to CD and all streaming platforms.”

Stella 1 and Stella 2 was mastered by Joel Grind (of Toxic Holocaust) and recorded and mixed by Chase Bensing. Album art created by Mxtro Catpiss.
