The Death Wheelers Post “Divine Filth” Video; Album out Sept. 11

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 10th, 2020 by JJ Koczan

Violence, motorcycles, grainy footage, blown-out riffs — you get the idea where The Death Wheelers are coming from aesthetically. The Canadian troupe have been kicking up dust since their 2015 self-titled debut and their latest, Divine Filth, will be out on Sept. 11 through RidingEasy Records. The band have staged the record as the soundtrack to an ’80s biker movie that never happened which is fun, and the single is likewise a rager of marked vroom-vroom. I’m somewhat curious how The Death Wheelers might ultimately distinguish themselves from the likes of Satan’s Satyrs, who tread a similar path in terms of style if not substance(s), but whatever. That band broke up anyway and The Death Wheelers are instrumental, so I guess there’s room on the highway for more than one gang. Hopefully no one gets stabbed. I hear that’s a thing.

People being turned into zombies by lysergic drugs, the world ending, whatnot. Could it really be any worse than life is right now?

Possibly?

Canadian ‘bikesploitation’ inspired rock & sleaze a la Davie Allan & The Arrows, The Wild Angels, Psychomania, The Cramps

Canadian heavy rock instrumentalists The Death Wheelers share a video single for the title track to their forthcoming album Divine Filth today. Watch and share the B-movie ode “Divine Filth” HERE. Hear & share the single via Bandcamp.

From beyond the gutter, The Death Wheelers bring you their second album, the soundtrack to the fictional bikesploitation flick that never was: Divine Filth. Drawing inspiration from instrumental rock, proto-metal, punk and funk, the band embalms the listener in their sonic world of decay, groove and debauchery. Surfing the line between Motörhead, The Cramps and Dick Dale, the Canadian quartet uncompromisingly blends rawness and power in their riff fueled compositions. Recorded entirely in 48 hours in a live setting just like in the good old days, this second opus is a testament to what the band stands for: a no BS attitude spiked with a heavy layer of crass. Just like their previous offering, the album is devised to serve as a soundtrack loosely based on a plot synopsis of a B-movie:

It’s 1982. Spurcity is run-down. The crime rate is up and so is drug use. A new kind of kick has hit the streets and it ain’t pretty. DTA, a powerful and highly addictive hallucinogenic drug, is transforming its loyal citizens into undead trash. Its users experience an indescribable high, but it leaves them rotting away within days, craving human flesh. No one knows who is dealing this new potent drug, but rumour has it that the motorcycle cult, The Death Wheelers, is behind this concoction. Could this be the end of civilization as we know it? What is motivating this group of psychotic individuals?

The cycle of violence indeed continues with this sordid slab of sounds. So hop on, and enjoy one last ride with The Death Wheelers.

Divine Filth will be available on LP, CD and download on September 11th, 2020 via RidingEasy Records. Pre-orders are available at RidingEasyRecs.com.
