She’ll make you beg and plead
Make you dance to the gunshots
She whispered me a threat
I won’t soon forget
Chicago’s BELLHEAD storms forward with Threats, their latest EP, landing April 8th across CD, digital, and streaming platforms. This marks their first collection of new material since 2023’s Good Intentions, and they waste no time making an impact: the title track arrives today, snarling, seething, and ready to burn.
In Threats, a volatile force cuts through the static as our chaotic protagonist’s story is growled and whispered out with thrilling menace: this lady is thriving on ruin, feeding on the thrill of wreckage – and some fiendish guitar work. She commands with a whisper, each syllable a warning, each step a calculated strike. She delights in destruction, bending others to her will, orchestrating chaos like a conductor wielding violence as her instrument. If she can’t have your heart, no one will. She moves like a ghost through the embers, trailing bad intentions and broken things in her wake. Nothing stops her. Nothing fixes her. She was shattered long before, and now, she leaves the world just as cracked, just as cruel.
Threats is, in short, a fun anthem to play while sifting through the wreckage of your resident chaos demon. Join in the chant!

Engineered by Neil Strauch and mastered by Carl Saff, Threats arrives via Oppressive Sky Records, packing five new tracks alongside two remixes that twist and transform BELLHEAD’s signature sound. Darkwave upstarts Clubdrugs inject Heart Shaped Hole with a hallucinatory haze, dragging listeners through a haunted dreamscape. Meanwhile, Stabbing Westward’s Chris Hall lends his voice to Bad Taste, turning it into a pounding, club-ready beast, all rhythm and fury, built to shake the walls and move bodies.
BELLHEAD’s relentless touring and electrifying, immersive live performances have propelled them into the spotlight, earning them stage time with Stabbing Westward, Julien-K, Gene Loves Jezebel, and Clan of Xymox. With Threats primed for release next month, the duo gears up for yet another road run, hitting spring tour stops and festival stages with the same relentless energy that has made them one of the hardest-working acts in modern post-punk.
