‘I’ll Be Your Monster’findsThe Wildheartsat 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.”

Ginger Wildheart is arguably amongst the UK’s best and most prolific songwriters, and his band, The Wildhearts, recently signed a worldwide deal with Snakefarm / Integral.
“The songs on ‘Satanic Rites…’ were written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive,” reflects Ginger. “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!”
‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’, the UK outfit’s 11th studio outing, was produced by Jim Pinder and mixed by Jim Pinder & Carl Bown, and is conceived as a belated follow-up to the classic ‘Earth vs…’ debut (1993).
In addition to ‘Failure Is The Mother Of Success’, ‘Troubadour Moon’ and ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’, the album features a further seven tracks, with the CD format including bonus track, ‘Loyola’.
