BUNKER 66

BUNKER 66 premiere new track from new split mini-album with Germany’s LUCIFUGE to be released via DYING VICTIMS

On October 21st internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release Of Night and Lust, a special split mini-album between Bunker 66 and Germany’s Lucifuge, on CD and 12” vinyl formats. And today, we premiere Bunker 66‘s new track “Mellhammer.” Hear Bunker 66‘s “Mellhammer” in its entirety here:

Both Bunker 66 and Lucifuge should be familiar names to those versed in the dark deeds of Dying Victims: Just earlier this year, Bunker 66 released through the label a split 7” with fellow Italian filth-bangers Hellcrash, as well as their long-awaited (and rightly celebrated) fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, earlier in 2021; for their part, Lucifuge released their equally celebrated fourth album, Infernal Power, through Dying Victims during the spring of 2021. Here on Of Night and Lust, both bands each deliver three exclusive songs, making for 24 minutes of ancient speed metal sleaze and metalpunk ghoulishness.

Lucifuge

Bunker 66 are up first and show no signs of slowing down, especially so after 15 years as a band now. “Mellhammer” and “Sulphurous Lust” are exemplary displays of their greasy speed-metal surge, and yet subtly exude an eerie aspect that perhaps point the way forward for future recordings. Capping their entry is a faithful cover of Motörhead’s “Doctor Rock,” which both underlines Bunker 66’s roots as well as reverently paying respect to the fallen gods of Lemmy and Würzel. Lucifuge follow with an even-more-blackened iteration of their etched-in-stone metalpunk across the tracks “The Great Unseen” and “In Blood and Dust.” They conclude with a surprising-yet-storming anthem fittingly titled “Warriors of the Night.” While many metal anthems have been attempted under such a title, you’ve truly never heard one as invigorating as this – nor Lucifuge so bright and brassy!

BUNKER 66 premiere new track, set release date for new DYING VICTIMS album

On April 30th internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release Bunker 66’s highly anticipated fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, we reveal the new track “To the Gates of Death / Lair of the Profaner.” Hear Bunker 66‘s “To the Gates of Death / Lair of the Profaner” in its entirety here:

Since 2007, Italy’s Bunker 66 have been proudly (and prolifically) flying the flag of ‘80s metalpunk, all in the beloved power-trio format. Of course, the joint influence of Motörhead and Venom looms large, but equally so do homeland heroes Bulldozer, the UK’s Warfare, early Running Wild, early Bathory and Slayer, later Anti-Cimex, metal-era Gang Green, and any ‘80s recordings from Discharge and Exciter. With this robust and rust-covered foundation firmly in place, Bunker 66 recorded a trio of cult albums for High Roller Records as well as a grip of splits with the likes of Italy’s Barbarian and Morbo, Brazil’s Whipstriker, and most recently Scotland’s Vuil. Simply put, they’re a cult band for cult fanatics – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Now, a couple years on from that last-mentioned split with Vuil comes Bunker 66’s long-awaited fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers. The band’s first full-length in four years and second with the lineup of co-founders vocalist/bassist Damien Thorne and drummer Dee Dee Altar alongside ex-Schizo guitarist J.J. Priestkiller, Beyond the Help of Prayers is a refreshing blast of old air! Right from the opening, galloping minutes of “To the Gates of Death – Lair of the Profaner,” this is 666% Bunker 66 through and through – all those above influences, all sliced and diced with the deft touch of devotees, but always brimming with a charisma that’s undeniable – and thereafter do the hits keep on coming. But, while one could say that Beyond the Help of Prayers is business as usual for the band (and we’d still love it), the album sees Bunker 66 taking on subtly more epic touches, ones that feel almost swords & sorcery without being obvious about it, or perhaps the post-apocalyptic wasteland vibes of Dee Dee Altar’s time in Children of Technology played a significant role? Naturally, the trio keep their noses deep within their realms of the black here, and while they’re undoubtedly dirtier and more blasphemous than ever, Bunker 66 arguably receive their best-sounding production on Beyond the Help of Prayers, which thankfully only maximizes their power that much more.

You can’t teach old dogs new tricks, and the same be said – STUNNINGLY – for Bunker 66, for they’re Beyond the Help of Prayers!

Cover and tracklisting as follows:
