Horror punk metal act ZOMBEAST, who just released their new album “Heart Of Darkness” via Massacre Records, licensed from Fiend Force Records (order HERE!), have been announced to join the “Hell Nights” 2024 Tour!

The Cologne Halloween institution Hell Nights is finally going on tour again! After almost 1,500 horror fans visited the spookily charming Carlswerk in Cologne last year, and due to the high demand and outstanding line-up, German cities Hamburg and Leipzig are now also on the agenda – of course also in locations that convey the right atmosphere.

As always on this occasion, and for the first time in years also beyond, Europe’s No. 1 horror punks – THE OTHER – invite high class bands from all over the world to celebrate Halloween with them. Since 2002, their hometown of Cologne has developed into a global horror punk pilgrimage site that attracts fans from all over the world every year. The line-up in 2024 consists of The 69 Eyes, Nekromantix, The Other, Zombeast, and Special Guest in Leipzig: Mad Sin.

Fans – who will come in large numbers in elaborate costumes – can not only look forward to some of the scene’s most famous acts, but also to a special program featuring scare actors who mingle with the audience and a spooky photo booth for lasting memories.

Hard tickets are on sale at https://theother.hamburgrecords.com/ or digitally via Reservix

Influenced by Danzig, AFI, Mercyful Fate, and 80’s punk, death rock, and thrash metal, ZOMBEAST has crafted a perfect crossover blend of dark punk and thrash. Today, the band is unleashing their possibly heaviest, darkest, and most frenzied material to date – their new album “Heart Of Darkness”! Out now via Massacre Records – licensed from Fiend Force Records – and available as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, order your album copy, a must-have for every horror punk and metalhead right here: https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastheartofdarkness 

In support of today’s record release, ZOMBEAST are presenting a video clip for “Heart Of Darkness”! “The title track of the album touches on possession of mind and soul”,  guitarist / bassist Jared Smith comments. “Another song that naturally flowed out of us as we wrote it. We wanted a dark, doomy, dismal breakdown on this album and I think we pulled it off. Alex Young really shines with his lead playing on this track. Easily one of the heaviest tracks on the album.”

The lyrics on the new ZOMBEAST offering, written by singer Mario Montechello, explore everything from the true horrors of life to the occult and lycanthropy. With the addition of Alex Young (lead guitar) and Kyle Smith (drums), this album also breaks new technical ground that’s never been seen before by the band. Thunderous drums and dueling guitars meet iconic vocals on this long-awaited new album – don’t miss “Heart Of Darkness” and order your copy now at https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastheartofdarkness

On May 17, 2024, horror punk metal act ZOMBEAST will return with its heaviest, darkest, and most frenzied material to date – their new album “Heart Of Darkness”! Slated for release via Massacre Records – licensed from Fiend Force Records – the album will be coming out as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale is available at: https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastheartofdarkness 

Following the previously-released, first single “Red Ripper”, today ZOMBEAST are presenting a music video for new album track “The Cycle”! 

“This song lyrically focuses on lycanthropy and the frenzy that consumes. This is some of Mario Montechello’s most aggressive singing on the record. It’s the fastest song we’ve ever written and the double bass action of Kyle Smith during the pre-chorus just creates a massive wall of sound reminiscent of Metallica’s “Dyers Eve”, says guitarist / bassist Jared Smith. “The dueling guitar breakdown was also written the night before the studio and I think we nailed it considering it was written in the 11th hour. The music on my end was heavily inspired by AFI’s “Black Sails In The Sunset”.”

“The Cycle” is now available on all digital streaming services via https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastthecyclesingle

Now, the band has presented a first single taken off “Heart Of Darkness”. Guitarist / Bassist, Jared Smith, comments: “Mario’s lyrics focus on the murderous tirade of Andrei Chikatilo (The Red Ripper) that terrorized Soviet wilderness for over a decade. The music for the song had a darker mood right from the start. It naturally flowed out of me and it made sense for Mario to approach the song lyrically from the darkest perspectives that he could. The way the palm muted verse and driving beat increase the tension until the song erupts into it’s thunderous chorus, it’s one of my favorite songs on the album.”

The new ZOMBEAST track, Red Ripper, is now available on all digital streaming services via https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastredrippersingle, watch the video clip here:
