Today, during the solar eclipse, Hells Headbangers announces May 24th as the international release date for Rotten UK's highly anticipated second album, Age of Chaos, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. In lieu of this announcement, the band reveal the new video "Annihilation Desecration." See & hear Rotten UK's "Annihilation Desecration" video in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.
When Rotten UK made their long-awaited full-length debut, That Is Not Dead, in 2016, it seemed like quite the surprise coming from Hells Headbangers. Although pure punk rock is a rarity the label, the form Rotten UK played on that celebrated debut - and proceeded to uniquely twist to their own design, with power and personality, across its 14 anthemic tracks - is actually a variety that inspired many early speed metal and thrash bands: commonly known as UK82, this subgenre was indeed a strain of early '80s UK punk that synthesized the anthemic Oi! style before it with the nascent harder/faster style pioneered by the likes of Discharge, The Exploited, and GBH. But UK82 wasn't the only thing lurking in Rotten UK's cauldron; other stated influences included early Finnish legends like Kaaos and Riistetyt as well as England's Disorder and Broken Bones. Of course, trainspotters will know frontman James von Sinn from Japanese-style metalpunks Blüdwülf.
Completing the totality of this momentous record, Age of Chaos features stunning cover artwork courtesy of THE legendary Frank Frazetta, officially licensed from his family. Songs of revenge, revolution, and the Apocalypse, with magic and the occult swirling all about - Rotten UK return into an Age of Chaos!
