Transporting the listener back to the hottest era in hard rock history, Austrian hard rock powerhouse VULVARINE deliver a fierce statement with their explosive opening track “Equal, Not the Same”, taken from their upcoming album, Fast Lane, out this Friday, March 28, 2025 via Napalm Records!

VULVARINE are primed to drop jaws around the world! Fueled by sharp-edged riffs and relentless energy, “Equal, Not the Same” captures the frustration of being unheard and the fierce determination to stand tall. With its raw intensity and confrontational spirit, the third single is accompanied by a pulse-pumping official music video and offers another taste of an album that refuses to back down.

VULVARINE recently spread their signature rock’n’roll sound in cities across Europe on the second leg of Thundermother’s Dirty & Divine tour, also featuring Napalm Records label mates Cobra Spell.

VULVARINE on their new single “Equal, Not the Same”:
“‘Equal, Not the Same’ is a powerful anthem for gender equality, emphasizing that equality doesn’t mean erasing individuality. The song confronts the frustration of women standing up to dominance and being silenced under the guise of care. It’s a bold reminder to respect boundaries and celebrate differences.”

Influenced by bands such as Girlschool, The Runaways and The Donnas, VULVARINE defines their own sound as “vulvarock”: a unique fusion of high energy rock’n’roll, heavy metal and glam, topped up with punk and blues elements. Following their debut album, Unleashed (2020), and 2023’s Witches Brew EP, on Fast Lane, VULVARINE head full speed into a new adventure filled with adrenaline and authenticity.
 
VULVARINE on the new album:
“Fast Lane captures the whirlwind of creativity and energy that has driven us as a band. The album came together in an intense but exciting process, where we pushed our limits, worked with incredible people, and poured everything we had into the music. Signing with Napalm Records is a huge milestone, and we’re ready to hit the fast lane and dive headfirst into this new adventure.”

While remaining uncompromising and real, VULVARINE impresses with a variety of soundscapes on Fast Lane. The explosive opening track “The Drugs, the Love and the Pain” sets the scene for the rest of the album: rebellious, action-packed, raw, punky – and irresistibly catchy. “Ancient Soul” shows the softer side of VULVARINE while “Demons” dives into darker waters. VULVARINE’s strong rhythm section shines especially bright on “Alright Tonight”, and “Equal, Not the Same” is particularly refreshing and empowering. “Fool”, co-written with German producer Felix Heldt (Dominum, Feuerschwanz, Visions Of Atlantis), surprises with a different tone while remaining true to the sound and spirit of the band. “Polly the Trucker” is an ode to the highway, a classic rock’n’roll anthem with a modern touch, featuring raspy vocals and incredible guitars. VULVARINE brings in yet another highlight with an electrifying cover of Modern Talking’s “Cheri Cheri Lady”, featuring a powerful guitar solo from Thundermother’s Filippa Nässil, before wrapping the album up with pensive track “She’ll Come Around”.
 
On Fast Lane, VULVARINE soars to the next level with both songwriting and high-quality production without losing their edge. The album was produced in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt as a collaboration of three different producers: Thomas Zwanzger of Stressstudio, Dietmar Baumgartner of Sonar Music Productions and Engel Mayr (formerly of Russkaja) of Studio Mäusepalast, resulting in a cohesive work and VULVARINE’s strongest album yet. Fast Lane is a multifaceted and honest high-octane rock’n’roll extravaganza with no filler: the 11-track offering is packed with the very best of one of the most promising bands in the scene.

Get ready for a firestorm of hard rock fury! Fierce Austrian hard rockers VULVARINE are set to shake things up with their new single and album opener, “The Drugs, the Love and the Pain”, taken from their upcoming studio album, Fast Lane, out on March 28, 2025 via Napalm Records!

“The Drugs, the Love and the Pain” kicks off VULVARINE’s album with an electrifying fusion of punk attitude, hard rock grit, and heavy metal intensity. Bursting with raw energy and rebellious spirit, the track delivers soaring melodies and hard-hitting riffs that embody the highs and lows of euphoria, chaos, and resilience. With its anthemic hooks and relentless drive, this powerhouse sets the tone for an adrenaline-fueled ride through the band’s bold and unapologetic sound.

The track debuts just in time for VULVARINE to bring their signature rock’n’roll to cities across Europe on the second leg of Thundermother’s Dirty & Divine tour, also featuring Napalm Records label mates Cobra Spell.

VULVARINE on their new single “The Drugs, the Love and the Pain”:
“The song takes you on a ‘rock ‘n’ roller coaster ride’ between euphoria and chaos, exploring where these emotions come from – be it substance abuse, heartbreak, or inner struggles. It resolves with a message of hope, reminding us that all feelings are temporary and will eventually lead to a brighter, clearer state of mind.”

Influenced by bands such as Girlschool, The Runaways and The Donnas, VULVARINE defines their own sound as “vulvarock”: a unique fusion of high energy rock’n’roll, heavy metal and glam, topped up with punk and blues elements. Following their debut album, Unleashed (2020), and the 2023’s Witches Brew EP, on Fast Lane, VULVARINE head full speed into a new adventure filled with adrenaline and authenticity.

With their explosive mix of hard rock, punk, and heavy metal, four-woman powerhouse VULVARINE will take the scene by storm with their brand new studio album, Fast Lane, to be released on March 28, 2025 via Napalm Records!

Hailing from Vienna, Austria, the band has been making an unmistakable statement for powerful women in rock music since 2019, breaking into the international live scene following their dynamic debut full-length, Unleashed (2020). Newly signed with premium rock and metal label Napalm Records, the high-energy rock’n’roll quartet gives a first glimpse of what can be expected on their upcoming record with smashing first single “Fool”, together with a powerful official video. On “Fool”, VULVARINE explore the struggle between societal expectations and authenticity.

Kicking off on February 7, VULVARINE will bring their signature sound to various European cities, supporting Thundermother on their Dirty & Divine tour alongside label mates Cobra Spell.

VULVARINE on their new single “Fool”:
“‘Fool’ is about the pressure to live up to expectations and the struggle to find your own identity. The song questions societal norms that define success through career and achievement, pushing people into a ‘work till you die’ mindset. We brought this theme to life in our music video, working with a dedicated crew who captured the tension between external pressure and personal freedom.”

Influenced by bands such as Girlschool, The Runaways and The Donnas, VULVARINE defines their own sound as “vulvarock”: a unique fusion of high energy rock’n’roll, heavy metal and glam, topped up with punk and blues elements. Following their debut album and the 2023 EP Witches Brew, on Fast Lane, VULVARINE head full speed into a new adventure filled with adrenaline and authenticity.
