Ginger and the latest incarnation of his rock ‘n’ roll reprobates are preparing to indulge in their latest #SatanicRites with their upcoming 11th studio album, and we’re happily inviting their latest monster of a tune over the door of ÜRHQ to burn up both our death decks and our ear drums.

‘I’ll Be Your Monster’ finds The Wildhearts at their full creative tilt, delivering a hard-hitting, retooled glam stomper with a modern twist. This infectious track, complete with Shining/Emperor member Jørgen Munkeby on guest saxophone, positively rips through the speakers, and as Ginger succinctly puts it, “is one for the narcissists.”

Speaking about the new album, being released on 7 March via Snakefarm, Ginger says:

The songs on ‘Satanic Rites…’ were written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive.. There’s everything here – catchy choruses, proper fuck-off riffs, anger, frustration, acceptance and revelation, with plenty of insane detours. A hard rock album for people who love hard rock.
