lyrics
Headlong into the storm.
Hammer down, I won't be long.
Valhalla bound at the speed of sound.
I'm in a pitch black Cadillac.
Gonna speed through Hel and back.
I am the prophecy -
so get behind me.
Gimme gimme more speed!
I got my Valkyrie and a flagon of mead.
I'm gonna shake the earth.
All you need is speed!
Full fledged berserker rage.
Pushing red on the fuckin' gauge.
I bring the thunder.
I tear asunder.
Teeth grindin'
got a lead boot.
The world stopped when the serpent shook.
I see the cities burn in the rear-view,
I'm just about to break through.
Gimme gimme more speed!
I got my Valkyrie and a righteous steed.
We're gonna shake the earth.
All you need is speed!

An absolute banger from our all time favourite Canadian band. Also, we got Vincent featuring on our new album, and we're pretty amped about it. Ruff Majik

5-STAR ALBUM ALERT
Don't let this slide past, under your radar, this is an all-timer. Get it, ingest it, and smother your mother with these sounds. Don't actually smother her, she loves you. Maybe call her?
Let's compromise, tell her about this album and we'll call it a day. adamdoom

How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing.
Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times)
Fav track: I am the beyonder ooijerm
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
