The First Single Off Belushi Speed Ball’s New Album Stellkira is All About the ‘Za
Thrash metal songs about pizza is sadly a niche that should be bigger. What’s better than blazing fast thrash metal and piping hot ‘za?! Nothing, that’s what. And that sort of conceit is exactly why Belushi Speed Ball’s new single “My Favorite Color Is Pizza” should become the new American anthem.
The new track is the first single off the band’s third full-length album Stellkira, which will drop on May 10. Preorders are available right now.
I bet bassist and lead vocalist Vinne Crastellano would agree with me on that whole “more pizza-based thrash songs” bit. I mean, with a last name like that, how could he refuse?! But I digress. Speaking about the new single, Crastellano said he and his bandmates has been compared to a less-than-fresh version of pizza, so naturally the single had to exist at some point.
“Belushi Speed Ball’s music has been compared to frozen pizza. Which is a hilarious attempt at insulting us. Frozen pizza is absolutely delicious and Pizza Thrash is some of the most fun music ever created. We fully embrace this concept and proudly present our newest single, “My Favorite Color is Pizza”! A Pizza Thrash anthem that will have even the most elitist gatekeeper shamefully slurping up every riff out of the tub drain.”
With the release of this new single, it’s also time to find out about whatever crazy “alternative format” the band’s got cooking for this one. You may recall that these guys love putting their music on unconventional things, like a Game Boy Advance cartridge and a Teddy Ruxpin cassette. If you’re a collector, you may want to get your wallet ready because they must have had this idea baking in the oven for a while.
Available over on their Bandcamp for $75, you can get the new single on a fucking slice of pizza. Sure, it’s encased in resin, but it’s an actual slice of pizza that you can use to listen to the new song. Crastellano said this was the natural progression of things, really.
“Belushi Speed Ball is the first pizza thrash band (or any band) to release music on actual pizza!
We have encased the slice in resin to preserve it’s freshness. Just click the button and let the pizza play for you our newest single, ‘My Favorite Color is Pizza.’ We will have the single available in Detroit and New York style.”
So yeah, as mentioned you can preorder your copy today, so get on that shit before it goes cold.
