Hellions ProfileAfter dropping some new music in previous months, Hellions have today officially announced brand new album, Rue, set to drop on 19 October via UNFD.
The LP will be the Sydney outfit's fourth and the follow-up to their critically-acclaimed third record, Opera Oblivia, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Albums chart in 2016 and was nominated for an ARIA Award that same year.
To celebrate the news, Hellions have unveiled the latest single from the album, Smile.
"The world as we know it wants to be entertained interminably, and now our entertainment often comes at the expense of our compassion," drummer Anthony Caruso and guitarist/vocalist Matt Gravolin said of Smile.
"We’ve all found ourselves speaking in blue, snide language about trivial matters that aren’t of any real consequence to us, asserting invalid opinions for the sake of having our voices heard.
"Cheap stimulation is addictive and judgemental thinking can take over involuntarily when so much of our mental space is surrendered to it. We seem to be stuck here despite knowing that this thinking and behaviour isn’t conducive to any lasting happiness."
