Belushi Speed Ball stream new video 'Ripping Off Municipal Waste'

Belushi Speed Ball

The enigmatic thrash metal band Belushi Speed Ball are now streaming a new video for "Ripping Off Municipal Waste" from their latest album What, Us Worry? out now on sonaBLAST! Records. The video features Muppets and was directed by Beau Kaelin aka Belushi Speed Ball vocalist Señor Diablo.

The band comments:


"The goal of ours was to capture that "Saturday Morning Cartoon" nostalgia, while showcasing the destructive force that is a "Belushi Speed Ball" show. Director, Beau Kaelin, completely succeeded in this challenge. The secret formuli being puppets and a "Rocky III" montage of Belushi's craziest members, our fans!"


Official press release:

Belushi Speed Ball recently released their full-length album, What, Us Worry?

The album oozes Belushi Speed Ball's collective personality, from ludicrous speeding riffs and pounding percussion to a touch of groove and sprinklings of hardcore. Interspersed with narrative snippets, these elements of humour carry over the outfit's shenanigans and stage theatrics into the recorded realms. What, Us Worry? sees the band blend somewhat unexpected genre influences into the mix, notably the striking pop punk sound of "Dog Birthday". In stark contrast "Belushi Speed Grind" plunges into guttural depths of grindcore. Taking on the metal world with a nonsensical approach, Belushi Speed Ball deliver the preposterous enveloped in an epic sound.

In addition, ripping guitar solos have been provided by Jamison Land (former GWAR BEEFCAKE), Tony Barhoum (CONDITION CRITICAL) and Nick Burks (SAVAGE MASTER). What, Us Worry will be available on N64, Gameboy Advanced, CD, and streaming everywhere.
