The Wildhearts Drop ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’ – New Album & UK Tour Incoming
The Wildhearts are charging into 2025 with ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’, the latest single and video from their forthcoming album, ‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’, set for release on March 7th via Snakefarm.
A glam-fueled stomper with a modern edge, ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’ rips through with raw energy, boosted by a scorching saxophone solo from Jørgen Munkeby (Shining / Emperor). As frontman Ginger Wildheart puts it, this one is “for the narcissists.”

‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’ – A Hard Rock Manifesto
Described by Ginger as a reflection of transition, frustration, and revelation, the band’s 11th studio album delivers catchy choruses, blistering riffs, and unexpected twists. Produced by Jim Pinder and mixed by Pinder & Carl Bown, the record is being touted as a spiritual successor to their 1993 classic ‘Earth vs The Wildhearts’.
Alongside ‘I’ll Be Your Monster’, the album features tracks like ‘Failure Is The Mother Of Success’ and ‘Troubadour Moon’, with a CD-exclusive bonus song, ‘Loyola’.
