The Hellfreaks announce new album ‘Pitch Black Sunset’

THE HELLFREAKS have announced a new album!

Titled Pitch Black Sunset, the upcoming album from the Hungarian punk band is the follow-up to 2020’s God On The Run (and last year’s cover of BEASTIE BOYS‘ Sabotage), and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “since our last album, our world around us has turned much darker than what we ever expected. Covid, war, inflation. Enough reasons for introspection to find out if there is any light left in us. An excursion between the best and worst parts in us. Pitch Black Sunset is about how these contraries interfere with each other: the past and the future, peace and chaos, eastern and western, life and death. This album invites you to a car ride straight into the canyon between these opposites. Does it end in a car crash? Sometimes. But we found beauty in it.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Hit Me Where It Hurts.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Hit Me Where It Hurts is about hope and despair. Hope is able to move mountains. But what if the desired dream stays a dream? Then hope turns to prison. Intoxicated by a desire that never comes true, we reach the dead end, where the brain clearly sees the way out, but our heart won’t let us make the necessary steps. All that’s left is suffering. This song is an invocation for the metaphorical punch to eliminate the last piece of false hope, the real culprit in such a situation.”
