Heavy Rock trio and recent Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records signees, Hippie Death Cult, have revealed new stand-alone single, “Blood, Grit & Bone.” The song marks their first new studio output in three years.
The band comments:
‘Blood, Grit & Bone’ is a powerful, unapologetic statement of resilience-a fierce anthem of self-acceptance that celebrates the strength found in aging, the beauty of hard-earned scars, and defiant confidence in the face of societal judgment. Musically, the track traces the evolution of heavy music, building a bridge from ’70s-infused, foundational grit to the high-velocity, percussive intensity of the thrash metal movement.
Hippie Death Cult recently kicked off their tour through Europe and the United Kingdom. The journey commenced on September 30th and will run through October 30th.
From there, the band will head back to the US to join the Corrosion Of Conformity and The Sword co-headlining tour. The two-week trek begins on November 2nd in Buffalo, New York and closes on November 19th in Pensacola, Florida.
The band will make their way back home with seven more headlining dates from November 21st in Houston, Texas through November 29th in Oakland, California.
