“Weep When You Die” is the alcohol soaked, anthemic new single from Gothenburg’s leading exponents of Street Metal; HARDCORE SUPERSTAR!

Rejoicing in the enormous success and critical acclaim of their first two singles “Catch Me if You Can” and “Dreams in Red”, “Weep When You Die” is a booze soaked anthem described by the bands drummer ‘Adde’ as:

“Just another night at your local watering hole”

Evoking images of a smoke filled saloon, populated by rogues, outcasts and undesirables on the edge of society, “Weep When You Die” shrouds the listener with a hymn like opening before crashing into a pounding rhythm driven by Adde in harmony with bassist Martin Sandvik. Elevating the mood and creating the perfect platform for singer Jocke Berg to deliver his sermon urging people to “live for today” as guitarist Vic Zino conjures up the perfect balance of melody, riffs and scything lead work.

“Weep When You Die” is the third single from the bands highly anticipated new album “ABRAKADABRA” that is scheduled for release in March 2022.

Fresh off the heels and success of their recent runaway single “Catch Me if You Can”, Gothenburg’s favourite sons HARDCORE SUPERSTAR have unleashed their hard hitting new single “Dreams In Red” through GAIN/Fifth Island Music!

Slicing through the speakers like a psychotic 80’s slasher movie, “Dreams in Red” takes the listener on a twisted journey through the mind of a mentally unstable killer, haunted and torn by their violent past. Powerfully weaving between melody and aggression, “Dreams in Red” showcases the bands heavier sound, punctuated by their trademark ‘in your face’ production style and presenting a stark contrast between the infectious chorus of “Catch Me if You Can” and some of the heavier songs that comprise their upcoming album “Abrakadabra”, scheduled for release in March 2022.

With countless positive reviews and radio playlisting all over the world; coupled with over 100,000 Spotify plays of “Catch Me If You Can” within the first week of its release, HARDCORE SUPERSTAR are set to invoke some more Nordic Magic with “Dreams in Red” as they head out on the road with some exclusive dates to support its release ahead of their “Abrakadabra” World Tour currently being planned for 2022.

“Catch Me If You Can” picks up the pace and builds on the momentum created by HARDCORE SUPERSTAR‘s highly successful 2018 release “You Can’t Kill My Rock N’ Roll” that saw the band travel across the globe from America to Australia playing to some of the largest audiences of their career and including an unforgettable night where they broke the attendance record for a headline act on the opening night of the world famous Sweden Rock Festival.

Loud, aggressive and totally unrelenting, “Catch Me If You Can” bursts out the speakers with an onslaught of attitude combined with a pounding backbeat and a chorus that hits like a freight train, setting the tone perfectly for the bands upcoming album “Abrakadabra” that is scheduled for release in March 2022.

Recorded at both Österlyckan and Bombastik in Musikens Hus in Gothenburg, the band returned to their roots to work with acclaimed producer Johan Reiven, who they previously collaborated with on their 2005 “Black Album”. The result is an intense and hard-hitting collection of songs that drummer Adde Moon describes as a “natural follow up to the Black album” and definitely “an album for the fans that is best shared with good friends, cold beer and very loud speakers”

Sweden’s Party Boys, the self-coined ‘street metallers’ HARDCORE SUPERSTAR have signed a deal with global juggernauts Golden Robot Records (for Australia, New Zealand, South American, USA and Canada).

Paying little attention to the extreme death metal sounds of their hometown was renowned for, the four natives of Gothenburg, Sweden who formed Hardcore Superstar in 1998 drew upon melodic, glammed-up hard rock, especially the sleazy L.A. pop-metal sound of the ’80s.

Vocalist Jocke Berg, guitarist Silver Silver, bassist Martin Sandvik, and drummer Magnus Andreasson recorded an album titled It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll and released via Gain Records in 1998, attracting praise from Motorhead’s Lemmy.

After opening for Motorhead on a Scandinavian tour, Hardcore Superstar signed Music for Nations and recorded their sophomore effort, Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada, in 1999. They scored three Swedish Top Ten singles from the record and built up their audience through constant gigging. 

The punchy but laid-back Thank You (For Letting Us Be Ourselves) arrived in 2001, followed by No Regrets in 2003, the latter of which spawned the hit single ‘Honey Tongue.’ It would be their last outing for Music For Nations, having re-signed with Gain for the release of their eponymous fifth studio long-player in 2005. The album was widely praised and earned the group a Swedish Grammis nomination. 

Released in 2007, Dreamin’ in a Casket would be the last outing for guitarist Thomas Silver, who left the group in 2008. Crazy Lixx’s Vic Zino would eventually replace him, and make his studio debut with the band on 2009’s Beg for It. which was released via Nuclear Blast.

Split Your Lip arrived the following year, with the band’s first-ever compilation LP The Party Ain’t Over ‘Til We Say So, dropping in 2011. The singles ‘One More Minute’ and ‘Above The Law’ heralded the release of the group’s ninth full-length, 2013’s C’mon Take on Me, while 2015’s HCSS would be the first Hardcore Superstar outing to a feature a guest performer (Swedish reggae singer Etzia).

In late 2017 the band issued the single ‘Have Mercy on Me’ in anticipation of the release of their 11th album, You Can’t Kill My Rock ‘N’ Roll which was well received in 2018.

Hardcore Superstar and Golden Robot Records have now joined forces for a brand-new album in 2021.

‘’I Have been chasing Hardcore Superstar for years and to finally have them signed for a brand-new Album in 2021 we are all over the moon. A fantastic band with a great history and we are honoured to be involved.’’ – Mark Alexander-Erber President & Founder | Golden Robot Global Entertainment 

Look forward to more classic tracks along the lines of all time faves like ‘Wild Boys’, ‘You Can’t Kill My Rock ‘n Roll’, ‘Last Call For Alcohol’, ‘Bring The House Down’, ‘Above The Law’ and ‘Someone Special’.
