Hungary’s The Hellfreaks have gone through a few musical changes throughout the past decade. Their early work showed an affinity with the classic psychobilly sounds of Necromantix and Long Tall Texans; by the mid ’10s, they’d refined themselves as a punky/metal hybrid and albums like ‘Astoria’ saw their fanbase grow. By the time of 2020’s ‘God On The Run’, the metallic edges had been bolstered further and tracks like the Marilyn Manson-esque ‘Witches Heal’ showcased a band with a lot of power.

Their sixth video single promoting ‘God On The Run’ takes a further musical twist in that it works a slower and more mechanical tempo, often sounding a little more like Powerman 5000. It may be half a world away from the breakneck speed psychobilly of yore, but in Shakey Sue’s strong vocals band retains both a strong link to the past and an obvious audio focus. It’s video combines band performance with striking imagery where a wounded face provides and vague themes of entrapment provide visual stimuli that seem entirely in keeping with the moodier arrangement.

You can watch the new video for ‘Tabby’ below, be be aware, it may be considered vaguely “not safe for work” with more conservative employers.
