Barbarian by BARBARIAN

To coincide with a full tour of the United States this August, HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present a new 7" EP from Italy's BARBARIAN. Simply self-titled, this new two-song banger presents BARBARIAN at their roughest, rowdiest, and arguably heaviest yet. Riding high on the critical acclaim afforded their first album for HELLS HEADBANGERS (and third overall), "Cult of the Empty Grave," BARBARIAN go from strength to strength, taking the blackened traditional metal of that album and here firing it full of a dangerous octane. Both tracks - "Simulcra of the Ageless Need" and the telltale "Stench of God" - are both brand-new and exclusive to this release, so get ready for summer slaughter with the Barbarian 7"!

Our approach to Metal is regressive. By means of Metal retrogardism we interrogate the present: do we really need so many sheep and shepherds today? Heavy Metal is the whip, and you bleed.
