ROCKSTORY
"(PHIL CAMBELL & the BASTARD SONS BIOGRAPHY)"
"Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons is a Welsh rock band established in 2016 by longtime Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell, following the 2015 death of Motörhead frontman Lemmy. After the inevitable disbandment of Motörhead, Campbell announced he was working on a solo album, recording with a plethora of guest artists including Rob Halford, Joe Satriani, and Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn. Around the same time, he formed a new band, Phil Campbell & the Bastard Sons. Alongside former Attack! Attack! vocalist Neil Starr, the group featured Campbell's three actual sons: guitarist Todd, bassist Tyla, and drummer Dane. While still very much in an old-school rock vein, the new band's material was more stylistically varied than Motörhead's. In November 2016 the band released their first recording, a self-titled EP. The band has subsequently performed in supporting slots with Hawkwind, Guns N' Roses, Saxon and Airbourne. In August 2017, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons announced that they were to start recording their debut album. On 26 October 2017, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons announced the title of the debut album as The Age Of Absurdity, which was released on 26 January 2018 on Nuclear Blast Records. The album was produced by Romesh Dodangoda. At the 2018 Metal Hammer Awards ceremony in Germany, it won Best Debut Album. The band's line up for the album features Phil and his three sons, together with former Attack! Attack! vocalist from South Wales Neil Starr. On 21 April 2018, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons released a cover of "Silver Machine" for Record Store Day. The track was previously available as a bonus track on some CD versions of The Age of Absurdity. The band completed a headlining tour of the UK and Europe in the winter of 2018. On 4 September 2020, the band announced on social media that a new album We're the Bastards would be released on 13 November via Nuclear Blast. The album has been recorded during the Corona virus lockdown and was recorded and produced by Todd Campbell in Wales and mixed by Soren Anderson. Vocalist Neil Starr said: "It's definitely great to know that we have an audience now. We know there are people that want to hear it, but the truth is that we just had fun with it. Once again, we made the record we wanted to make and it's been really exciting. It was awesome to take our minds off everything and just concentrate on recording a kick ass album for the fans to enjoy." On 2 June 2021, the band announced they had parted ways with vocalist Neil Starr. On 18 January 2022 the band announced that Joel Peters had been made a permanent member of the band. "
