Hang The bastard

HANG THE BASTARD are a band from London, England that formed in 2009

and have built their name across Europe over the last 4 years. The band’s 

first full length "Hellfire Reign” was released on Holy Roar records in 2010 

and over the last three/four years of touring Europe, releasing 7” singles and 

EPs and also some lineup changes last year, the band decided to have a 

complete rethink on what they wanted HANG THE BASTARD to represent 

moving forward. 

The resulting progression has taken the band in a completely new direction 

and they have written easily their strongest material to date. “Sex In The 

Seventh Circle” is their 2nd full length record and is a riff worshipping stoner 

metal assault which will be released worldwide through Century Media 

Records /Siege Of Amida. Their focus for the last 18 months has been to write 

the strongest record they could yet still playing shows along the way with 

Nails, Orange Goblin, Valient Thorr and Xibalba as well as festivals like 

Download, Sonisphere & Hyde Park with Black Sabbath, Soundgarden & 

Faith No More. 

The band recorded the record at Titan Studios in the UK in November 2013 

and really made a concerted effort to write something that both gathered 

influence from some of their favorite bands as well as bringing something 

unique to the metal table. FFO - Down, Kyuss, Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, 

Cream, Integrity, Weedeater, Ghost, Sabbath.

From the misery of “Morrs Tempest”, to the riff fest of “Hornfel”. From the 

haunting soul of “Mists Of Albion” to the anthemic attack of “Keeping Vigil”, 

HANG THE BASTARD have made sure they made a record that they wanted to 

listen to and was exciting from start to finish. Dynamically, the band have 

delivered one of the most exciting metal records of the last decade. Patience 

and hard work pays off when it comes to caring about the music you write!
