One week from today, Chicago’s own, BELLHEAD will play their first show of the year right here in Chicago at Reggies Rock Club. Next month, the bands newest album will be available through various formats. Below is the complete details on what’s coming up for Chicago’s own Darkwave darlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago\u2019s BELLHEAD have just announced one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2025 as \u2018Threats\u2019 will be available beginning April 8th on CD, Digital Download, and Streaming on all major platforms. The first single and title track \u201cThreats\u201d can be heard on March 10th via Bandcamp pre-order. \u2018Threats\u2019 is the first EP of new material since BELLHEAD released \u2018Good Intentions\u2019 in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there songs about Death? Check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Songs about Revenge? Yep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drowning? You know it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartbreak? Got You Covered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femme Fatales, Murder, and Sorrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Yes!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gone is their distinctive Black and White branding, having been replaced by vibrant yellow.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 \u201cThreats\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s rising stars Clubdrugs provide a hallucinogenic fueled trip through a Haunted Mansion on the remixed \u201cHeart Shaped Hole\u201d, while Stabbing Westward\u2019s Chris Hall provides additional vocals on the remixed \u201cBad Taste\u201d that gives it a club filling stomp one does not often associate with BELLHEAD, leaving you with your fists pumping and feet moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since the release of \u2018Good Intentions\u2019 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 \u2018Threats\u2019, BELLHEAD will be hitting the road once again with Spring tour dates and additional appearances on Festival Stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
