đŸ”„ Watch Hippie Death Cult unleash crazy grooves with Red Giant đŸ”„

 

“One funny anecdote from this track that you’ll catch when you watch the video version is the culmination of the prank war between us and Kadabra in action. We were on the road together for about seven weeks and had been pranking each other all along the way. They started it. This was the last show of the tour, and by this point, we felt like we had taken it as far as we were going to take it and had given those guys a good run for their money. They kept taunting us that a big retaliation was on its way, kind of playing head games with us.

 

Well, the last show arrived, and during ‘Red Giant,’ they inflated about 50 balloons and circulated them around the crowd. It was actually a really sweet surprise from those guys, and the crowd loved it. So, if you hear a bunch of random popping noises throughout this record, you’re hearing people in the crowd popping the balloons as we play. To top it off, they also covered our van in silly string, paper, and had written ‘Kadabra Rules’ and other obscenities in giant lettering all over the windows. Just another example of the many things that made this night a really fun one for us.” Don't miss Hippie Death Cult's latest live video for Toxic Annihilator!

Hippie Death Cult's journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression has led them to become a vibrant force in the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n' roll. This journey has not been without its challenges, but the band has always managed to emerge stronger and more determined than ever. Throughout their formative years, the band underwent what proved to be a very significant evolution, transitioning from a 4-piece to a more cohesive and harmonious power trio. This lineup currently consists of guitarist and founder Eddie Brnabic, vocalist and bassist Laura Phillips, and drummer Harry Silvers.

 

In 2019, Hippie Death Cult caught the attention of Cursed Tongue Records, who signed them for the release of their highly anticipated album "111." The record was met with widespread acclaim, solidifying their place in the music scene. Building on this success, the band made another significant move in 2021 by signing with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. This partnership resulted in the release of their album "Circle of Days" and a split release titled "Doom Sessions Vol.5" with label mates High Reeper. Both full-length albums soared to the very top of the Doom Charts as well as many “Album Of The Year” lists, further cementing their status as a rising force in the genre.

 

Their 2023 album "Helichrysum" marks a significant milestone as it sees bassist Laura Phillips stepping up on lead vocals, adding a powerful new dimension and sense of originality to their doom-tinged ‘70s sound, relentlessly powered by Eddie Brnabic's epic shredding. With their unwavering dedication to their craft and their ability to push boundaries, Hippie Death Cult is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene for years to come.
