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Gone is their distinctive Black and White branding, having been replaced by vibrant yellow.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.
THREATS! tracklisting:
Threats
Heart Shaped Hole
Shutters + Stutters
No Dead Horses
Double Jeopardy
Bad Taste (Stabbing Westward Remix)
Heart Shaped Hole (Clubdrugs Remix)
Since the release of ‘Good Intentions’ back in 2023, BELLHEAD have grown in popularity thanks in part to their never ending tour schedule and fiery interactive live performances. They have performed over 50 shows from one end of the country to the other, sharing the stage with such legendary acts as Stabbing Westward, Julien-K, Gene Loves Jezebel, Clan Of Xymox, Night Club, and performing at some high profile fests. In support of ‘Threats’, BELLHEAD will be hitting the road once again with Summer tour dates and additional appearances on Festival Stages.
