The Wildhearts return in 2025 with a brand new album. Titled ‘Satanic Rites of the
Wildhearts’ produced / mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Sleep Token / Bullet For My
Valentine / While She Sleeps) the record is conceived as a belated follow-up to the classic debut, ‘Earth vs The Wildhearts’
These are songs of defiance and hope, of ragged glory, of true heart-on-sleeve emotion;
songs that sound like no-one else on this planet (or the explored parts of space) – all of
which holds true for the new album, the band’s first for Snakefarm….
Lead single / video, ‘Failure Is The Mother Of Success’, sums up the album – the 11th since ‘Earth vs…’ – via a spectacular eight minute lap taking in all manner of twists and turns, and the message here is plain, forged through sharp-end experience…
The single 'I'll Be Your Monster' features Shining / Emperor member Jorgen Munkeby as a guest saxophonist.
In support of ‘Satanic Rites…’, The Wildhearts will be touring the UK and Europe, taking in major festivals along the way, starting with a short run of headline shows in Norway, Sweden & Italy in December of 2024.
The Wildhearts stand as one of the finest, most productive, most consistent UK rock acts of the past 30 years.
