Seattle punk legends Zeke return with their first new album in over 14 years entitled Hellbender (due out March 30th via Relapse Records)! Short, fast, loud, and to the fuckin’ point, Hellbender contains “fifteen tracks laced with Zeke’s signature mix of hyperspeed thrash-punk and Motörhead possessed, hard as nails, rock n’ roll.” Complete with raucous, in-your-face production by Jack Endino (Nirvana, High on Fire, The Accüsed), Hellbender is “the culmination of a band 25 years into their career, sounding more aggressive, immediate and turbo-charged than ever before! Ride to live…”
Stream three new songs from Zeke, including “Working Man”, “Hellbender” and “County Jail” off Hellbender below.
Additionally, Zeke will embark on a headline Spring European tour in support of Hellbender’s release next month. The tour commences on March 30 at Paaspop Festival in NL and ends May 5 in Kassel, DE. A short stint of regional dates in the Pacific Northwest will take place in the coming months as well. A full list of confirmed tour dates is available below.
