So what do they have in store for you on December 17th? Three tracks of rather bonkers thrash metal, that’s what. In their own words, “Two songs about moshing with aliens, and one about moshing with humans”.
The title track riffs on an unsurprising Spielbergian 5-note sequence in a very sci-fi style before launching into something more air guitar friendly. For those who’ve not heard Bangover before, think early Exodus. If that’s your cup of thrash metal tea then this will be perfect for you. Especially if you like your metal in titanic formats, what with the 8-minute running time.

“Crop Circle Pit” is your crossover track, crossing over as it does from the alien-themed material to “Blood, Sweat and Beers” which happens to also be about circle pits, just these ones based indoors, in pubs. Rather than in fields with gangly-limbed greys.
Musically there’s nothing groundbreaking here, but that’s not what we expect from Bangover. What we expect is fast-paced lunacy that will have your frontal lobes crying for mercy in the morning. And, in three frenetic chunks, this is very much what we have.
