HELLBASTARD is often cited as being THE BAND who created the "CRUST-PUNK/ METAL" wave of the early 1980's. They "formed" in late 1984/early 1985,...went through some traumatic times, many lows and some highs,........then died a premature death in 1992/3 when founder member/vocalist/guitarist "scruff" moved hundreds of miles away from his native north-eastern "geordieland" hometown of Gateshead, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Now, back in action again....with fellow band members GIANLUCA (BASS) and DANNY "BOO BOO" GUY (GUITARS/BACKING VOCALS) HELLBASTARD are firing on all four,......let it roll,.baby.

Arguably, Hellbastard was born from the circumstances of poverty and anger. Less than a decade before, punk rock had just battered the world and made people sit up and take notice, it was Hellbastard's aim to create something that equalled that passion, anger and ferocity of punk rock- yet with a wish to triple the productive aural/lyrical assault.
The driving force of HELLBASTARD was Hackneys (London) very own art-terrorists THE APOSTLES ex - member (Vocals/Guitars) Malcolm "Scruff" Lewty. Completed by current members Danny "BOO BOO BEAR" Guy (Guitars), Kristjan B. Heidarsson (Drums) and Gianluca Ait (Bass). Bored to death with the scarce availabilty of "Heavy" music, (Esp "heavy" music with decent lyrics) Hellbastard formed in 1984/5 and succeeded in bringing SOCIALLY AWARE lyrics and a crossover form of punk/metal music (which the band called "CRUST") to the international underground.
Twenty-four years later the band is still firing on all four cylinders, tighter, more powerful and angrier than ever. The last album "The Need to kill..." received rave reviews in the worldwide press and having completed a full headlining european tour in 2009 the band are set to headline an extensive tour of the USA (2009) and they are on the verge of the latest release "ECO-WAR" (Selfmadegod Records) which heralds the bands original "dirtier" style and "Crustiness...".
Be careful, and make sure you stand at the back.....Hellbastard are back with a vengeance,
Older, Wiser, Angrier. Hellbastard UK. 2009
HELLBASTARD are currently in the studio recording the "ECO-WAR" release. A follow-up to this years latest album - "The need to kill, rage murder, revenge & retaliations : The rise of the working classes...." (Currently available on SELFMADE|GOD RECORDS and available on limited edition vinyl through Civilisation Recs/Germany). The current line up and addition of new guitarist DANNY "BOO BOO" GUY only adds to the garden of sound and dynamic of the band......
Now re-invigorated and reformed (2008) with italian bassplayer Gianluca and for-the-time-being Mr. Kristjan B Heidarsson (Otherwise known as "THE ICELANDIC HAMMER"),...(session drumming bastard) and new guitarist Mr Danny "that's wicked" Guy, the band is (more often than not) firing on all four cylinders................having just completed their first european tour in over 18 years - and on the verge of a headlining USA tour (2009) the terrible foursome are back to cause mischief and havoc wherever they may roam.
HELLBASTARD is ANTI-INSTITUTIONALISED REPRESSION. Neo Avante-Garde, if you will. Semiotic vandalism in the current climate. An abyss of existencilism, moulded from experience and transformed into a "rock group" (arguably) to further the decaying mangled and disembodied screams of the underdog. Neither "Heavy Metal" nor "Punk Rock",....somewhere inbetween lies the neatly classified, cross-referenced label. (Let's face it,...people NEED a "label" otherwise they get SCARED of what they dont understand) It has been screamed before and we proudly scream it again,.... "NO GODS, NO MASTERS".
