BELUSHI SPEED BALL Fuels Conspiracy Theory With Thrashing New Single “Garth, Let My Family Go”
New Album, Stellkira, Out May 10th
The truth is out there! Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen these days, but one of the most shocking and intriguing in years is one posed by the popular podcast “Your Mom’s House,” who’ve asked the real important question: Is Garth Brooks a serial killer? Well, Louisville truth seekers and thrash metalheads BELUSHI SPEED BALL have chosen to immortalize the theory on their latest single “Garth, Let My Family Go,” which begs for closure and information on where the bodies are buried.
Commenting on the track, lead vocalist Vinny Crastellano says:
“Garth, we are begging you please, just give us closure. Where are the bodies Garth, WHERE ARE THE BODIES!? We know you are sitting there thinking to yourself, “Somebody stop me”. But no one has been able to. Please for the love of god!“
From the band that brought you “My Favorite Color Is Pizza,” a blistering love song about spicy pie, and “This Is The Peak,” a raging track dedicated to an infamous bald headed critic, comes the latest metal masterpiece “Garth, Let My Family Go.” Watch the 8-bit video for the song here: https://youtu.be/geBqeaWX5D4
Crastellano adds about the video:
“The Garth segment of “Your Mom’s House” is one of our favorite bits ever. We wanted to pay homage to the genius prophecy, in the only way we know how… with satire. Allegedly, in a remote area, an area most known for its remoteness, sit’s Garth with cheese sandwiches, thinking to himself, “somebody stop me! We proudly present all of this alleged glory captured in an 8-bit music video.“

Crastellano says of 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!”

About BELUSHI SPEED BALL:
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.
