Following the success of their latest album
Satanic Scum Punks, Manchester’s blackened punk wrecking crew
Wolfbastard return with a devastating new remix of fan favourite ‘
Hail Satan Kurwa‘, reimagined by occult techno act
House of Verdelet.
Released on
July 15 via
Apocalyptic Witchcraft, the remix drags Wolfbastard’s relentless black metal punk anthem into the depths of the underground dance floor, where hard industrial beats and hypnotic electronics collide with the original’s feral aggression.
Originally featured on Satanic Scum Punks, ‘Hail Satan Kurwa’ became one of the album’s standout tracks, embodying the band’s uncompromising blend of nihilistic punk fury and black metal venom. House of Verdelet’s reinterpretation transforms that chaos into a pounding techno assault soaked in acid while preserving the song’s unhinged spirit.
Si Fox, Wolfbastard bassist revealed how this voyage into new territories of extreme music came to be:
“We came up with the idea for the remix after a discussion with Conor from our label. The original track is a homage to our Polish friends, done in our usual brutal punk/metal style. We thought what better way to put a different spin on it, than to do a Hardbass remix. Conor showed us some examples of Polski Hardbass and we knew it was going to be something mad.
We were also throwing ideas around at the time for a new music video, so we thought “f*ck it, why not do it for the remix”? It ended up being a lot of fun, even if we did film it in tracksuits in a heatwave.
We all do listen to various forms of electronic music. We have a big playlist in the car for when we’re touring and that features lots of classic dance and trance tracks. You can’t beat racing down the motorway on the way to a show, blast high BPM 90s dance music.
The energy between the genres is very similar, especially at live shows and festivals. We have even started playing
New Order’s ‘
Blue Monday‘ at the end of our live set. It’s great to see people go from head banging and mosh pits, to dancing like maniacs in the space of a few seconds, sometimes with us in there with them.”
The accompanying video for ‘Hail Satan Kurwa (Polski Hardbass Remix)‘ was created by Jack Maguire and the director shared his experience of working with Wolfbastard:
“I worked with Wolfbastard to make a music video for the track ‘
FOTD (F*ck Off Then Die)‘. During that time, I came to realise the guys’ commitment to a good pisstake. In that video, we made fun of stereotypes seen in the Black Metal genre.
Now with the ‘Hail Satan Kurwa’ remix, we had an opportunity to have a laugh, and pay homage to conventions seen in hardbass music. We referenced videos from
XS Project,
Goldie-lookin Chain and
Kurupt FM. We found a very suitable rough spot in East Birmingham to film in. From there, awesome stuff started to happen.”
The Hail Satan Kurwa (Polski Hardbass Remix) is available on all digital platforms from July 15 via Apocalyptic Witchcraft…
