Chicago’s BELLHEAD have just announced one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2025 as Threats is now available on CD, Digital Download, and Streaming on all major platforms.
The first single and title track “Threats” was previewed a few weeks ago on March 10th via Bandcamp pre-order and is already being critically praised. Threats is the first EP of new material since BELLHEAD released Good Intentions in 2023.
Longtime fans will be rewarded for their patience and loyalty to the band, while people new to BELLHEAD will be immediately hooked by this release.
Are there songs about Death? Check.
Songs about Revenge? Yep.
Drowning? You know it.
Heartbreak? Got You Covered!
Femme Fatales, Murder, and Sorrow?
Yes!!!
All the familiar elements that fans have come to expect from BELLHEAD are still there, and yet with this release, the duo has grown in their songwriting, implementing refreshing styles and approaches to their storytelling.
Gone is their distinctive Black and White branding, having been replaced by vibrant yellow. The Anachronistic artwork of the previous releases, now issues a harsh warning along with a full color photo. Ivan Russia and Karen Righeimer-Schock let you finally see who exactly is making good on these “Threats”
Engineered by Neil Strauch and mastered by Carl Saff, the EP which will be released via Oppressive Sky Records includes five new songs alongside two remixes. Darkwave’s rising stars Clubdrugs provide a hallucinogenic fueled trip through a Haunted Mansion on the remixed “Heart Shaped Hole”, while Stabbing Westward’s Chris Hall provides additional vocals on the remixed “Bad Taste” that gives it a club filling stomp one does not often associate with BELLHEAD, leaving you with your fists pumping and feet moving.
