Belushi Speed Ball shred heads on new single ‘This Is The Peak’

Louisville thrash metalheads BELUSHI SPEED BALL recently served up a piping hot slice of their new album, Stellkira, with the single “My Favorite Color Is Pizza.” Now, the band is back to pay homage to a certain bald critic with their latest track “This Is The Peak.” It’s all downhill from here folks! 

Commenting on the track, lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano says: 

“Anthony Fantano reviewed our last album, calling it “the funniest F—ing thing he has heard all year”. We quickly sat down and wrote a song dedicated to that man’s meaty thick thighs. This is it, THE PEAK! We have accomplished the highest level of achievement in music. Our love for melon is forever immortalized through sound. Hold on sugar, daddy has a sweet tooth tonight!”

Crastellano adds about the upcoming album:

“We are proud to present the world with, ‘Stellkira.’ An album that truly encompasses the DNA that embodies the entity Belushi Speed Ball. Our fans can expect an unrelenting punch to the gut dripping with pepperoni grease. This is what happens when you go beyond sixteen chapels and make the mythical seventeenth! Hold on to your lug nuts, It’s time for an overhaul!”

Belushi Speed Ball is a Kentucky-based band founded in 2013 as a studio project amongst friends with a penchant for cliché crossover thrash. Their first live performances came soon after, enthralling a rapidly growing fanbase with a uniquely interactive brand of theatrics and unorthodox approach to releases and merch.

Dubbed “one of the funniest fucking things I have heard this year” by The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano, Belushi Speed Ball are inspired by bands from Toxic Holocaust and Anthrax to Gwar and Municipal Waste, to whom they simultaneously play homage and satirize a mean comment from a fan in their song “Ripping off Municipal Waste”, which was voted one of Leo Magazine’s top 20 songs of 2022. With a reputation for both trashing venues and meticulously cleaning them up after each individually themed performance, Belushi Speed Ball are masters of executing the unthinkable.  From playing out of a Mad Max-esque moving van and starting Terminator-inspired 300-person Nerf gun fights to releasing entire albums in N64… or Furby… formats, nothing is sacred as they continue evolving as, in the words of Metalsucks, “a freakshow of blistering thrash dedicated to laughing its ass off at blistering thrash.” 

This year, Belushi Speedball are readier than ever to keep that momentum going, with yet another album mastered to perfection by Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust, as well as a host of festival appearances, tours, and merch set to drop over the months to come.
