Hellions announce new album ‘Rue’

HELLIONS have announced a new album!

The upcoming record, titled Rue, follows 2016’s Opera Oblivia and is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The upcoming record was recorded at Karma Sound Studios in Thailand and their producer Shane Edwards, a man the band have worked with for a decade.

Alongside the announcement of the new record, the band have released a new single from the aforementioned record; titled Smile. Speaking about the track, drummer/co-writer Anthony Caruso and guitar/vocals/co-writer Matt Gravolin says, “the world as we know it wants to be entertained interminably, and now our entertainment often comes at the expense of our compassion. We’ve all found ourselves speaking in blue, snide language about trivial matters that aren’t of any real consequence to us, asserting invalid opinions for the sake of having our voices heard. Cheap stimulation is addictive and judgemental thinking can take over involuntarily when so much of our mental space is surrendered to it. We seem to be stuck here despite knowing that this thinking and behaviour isn’t conducive to any lasting happiness.”
