Death, revenge, drowning, heartbreak, and murder—Chicago’s bass duo returns louder, darker, and more dangerous than ever.
Chicago’s rising industrial post-punk duo BELLHEAD have officially dropped the hammer with the announcement of their new EP THREATS, set for release on April 8, 2025 via Oppressive Sky Records. Available on CD, digital download, and all major streaming platforms, the title track is already live now via Bandcamp preorder.
🔥 THREATS is the first new material since their 2023 EP Good Intentions, and it’s a full-throttle evolution in both sound and style. Familiar themes of femme fatales, heartbreak, murder, and sorrow are back—but this time, the duo have cranked up the intensity and peeled back the curtain.
🎯 A New Era Begins
Gone is the signature black-and-white branding. In its place: vibrant yellow and a sharp, full-color portrait. For the first time, you can see the faces behind the menace: Ivan Russia and Karen Righeimer-Schock are making good on their threats.
Engineered by Neil Strauch and mastered by Carl Saff, the 7-track EP includes five new songs plus two remixes—each dripping with venom and vision. Highlights include:
- “Heart Shaped Hole” twisted into a hallucinogenic haunt by Clubdrugs
- “Bad Taste” reimagined with Stabbing Westward’s Chris Hall, giving it a dancefloor stomp you won’t soon forget
