Raw and uncompromised, Live at the Star Theater perfectly showcases the thunderous trio’s sonic firepower and wild chemistry through five of their most iconic tracks. From the intoxicating proto-heavy groove of “Circle of Days” to the razor-sharp riffing of “Toxic Annihilator”, all songs are delivered with enough intensity to make the Star Theater’s foundations crumble. Hippie Death Cult confirms their position as one of the heavy underground’s most undefectible live outfits, premium performers that will raise hell in every single town they play. Let the HDC hurricane hit you now.

Hippie Death Cult’s journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression has led them to become a vibrant force in the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n’ roll. This journey has not been without its challenges, but the band has always managed to emerge stronger and more determined than ever. Throughout their formative years, the band underwent what proved to be a very significant evolution, transitioning from a 4-piece to a more cohesive and harmonious power trio.
In 2019, Hippie Death Cult caught the attention of Cursed Tongue Records, who signed them for the release of their highly anticipated album 111. The record was met with widespread acclaim, solidifying their place in the music scene. Building on this success, the band made another significant move in 2021 by signing with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. This partnership resulted in the release of their album Circle of Days and a split release titled Doom Sessions Vol.5 with label mates High Reeper. Both full-length albums soared to the very top of the Doom Charts as well as many “Album Of The Year” lists, further cementing their status as a rising force in the genre.
Their 2023 album Helichrysum marked a significant milestone as it sees bassist Laura Phillips stepping up on lead vocals, adding a powerful new dimension and sense of originality to their doom-tinged ‘70s sound, relentlessly powered by Eddie Brnabic‘s epic shredding. With their unwavering dedication to their craft and their ability to push boundaries, Hippie Death Cult is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene for years to come.
