Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons have announced their third album, Kings of the Asylum, set to arrive September 1st via Nuclear Blast Records. In advance of its release, the legendary Motörhead guitarist and company have unleashed the single “Schizophrenia.”
Kings of the Asylum marks the band’s first album with new singer Joel Peters, who replaced Neil Starr in 2021. The rest of the lineup is rounded out by Campbell’s three sons — Todd (guitars), Dane (drums) and Tyla (bass).
“We are thrilled to finally announce that we will be unleashing our brand new album Kings of the Asylum on September 1st,” stated Phil in a press release. “This is the first new music with our new singer Joel Peters and it totally kicks ass!”
In addition to the new album, Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons have also announced a Fall 2023 UK/European tour, kicking off September 19th in Brighton, England, and running through a December 2nd gig in Birmingham, England. Prior to that, they’ll play an intimate record release show on September 7th in Crumlin, South Wales. Tickets for their upcoming concerts are available here.
