THE WILDHEARTS – SATANIC RITES OF THE WILDHEARTS – ALBUM REVIEW
“…You took a lot of knocks to get where you are today…” – These are the lyrics that echo throughout the final refrain of album closer ‘Failure is the Mother of Success’. Those that know the story of Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts and the ups and downs of a chaotic career will realise the weight of those words.
Indeed, The Wildhearts have been to hell and back and over the course of now eleven studio albums they’ve seen and done every rock n roll trope there is. This experience had the band on top form as the pandemic hit but eventually led to yet another breakdown between the members.
The big question heading into new album ‘Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’ is how would version 999 of the band fair and could they maintain the hot streak of highly credible collections?

Well, as the album progresses so does the feeling of appreciation for the talents of the face of the band Ginger. Somehow against all odds, he has done it again and created a very enjoyable set of classic sounding The Wildhearts songs.
It is quite remarkable that we have another quality album from The Wildhearts. It’s often joked about the aftermath of the apocalypse seeing Keith Richards and Ozzy Osbourne still standing. Perhaps it’s time to add The Wildhearts to that list!
Tongue is firmly in cheek as Ginger and co and lyrically dissect various topics including personal and societal issues. The wonderful ‘Kunce’ being a particular moment of high jinks.
As those previously spotlighted lyrics close out this album, you’ll relate undoubtedly to the sentiments and be grateful that despite all of life’s challenges you and The Wildhearts are still standing and ready for the next challenge.
