Halifax, Canada’s unrelenting punk-infused hard rock outfit, The Bloody Hell, continues its sonic evolution with the explosive release of their second single, “Are You Happy?”, a searing preview from their highly anticipated third album “Blood Code”, slated to drop Fall 2025.
Following the success of their raw and furious sophomore record “Nobody Cares”, “Are You Happy?” turns towards heavier ground. The track is fast paced and hard hitting, driven by an earworm guitar riff with explodes into an off time rhythmic assault, while the raw and gritty vocal tells a story of the high and lows of a toxic relationship, and the lesson learned by a letting go ultimately ending in self reflection, and that oh so very important question – Are You Happy?.
“Are You Happy? is the second single off the upcoming third album from The Bloody Hell, which is slated for release in the fall of 2025. The video is compiled of in-studio footage of the band’s recording sessions, coupled with live footage from a string of shows played in 2024. Musically, the track is a big step forward in our songwriting approach, showcasing how our two new members have enhanced and morphed our sound, with this song bordering on hard rock, even slightly prog in the breakdown section. The majority of our previous releases have always been more straightforward, more fast-paced, and more punk rock, so it is exciting to step outside that “box” and let the song venture into places we’ve yet to explore. Also interesting to see how the public will receive this, we feel it’s one of our strongest singles yet, but we’ll let the audience be the judge, let us know …..Are You Happy?” adds Ian Kean Vocals.
Accompanying the single is a new music video, splicing together in-studio recording sessions with electrifying live clips from a 2024 performance. It has a visual reflection of the band’s metamorphosis and has a teaser for what’s to come.

About:
The Bloody Hell blends the swagger of George Thorogood, the grit of the Misfits, and the heart of Tom Petty into high-octane punk rock anthems about hardship and heartache. Since their 2017 debut, they’ve built a loyal following by sharing stages with legends like Propagandhi, DOA, and Ripcordz, and dropping two acclaimed albums. Their self-titled 2018 release spawned six singles and earned multiple music video nominations. Despite the pandemic, the band returned stronger with 2022’s Nobody Cares, praised as a major leap forward and nominated for Loud Recording of the Year. With Blood Code on the way in 2025, The Bloody Hell shows no signs of slowing down.
“Punk and horror punk fans should find Nobody Cares of great interest. ” – Metal Talk
“FFO – Catchy Horror Punk – Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water, Halifax-based quartet The Bloody Hell release their new LP Nobody Cares. The album collects the band’s recent singles, including August’s cover of “Barbra” by The Modernettes, along with some shiny new tracks.” – That’s Good Enough For Me
“Sound wise it’s very accessible, an up-tempo and fun listen that is easy on the ear and compelling to the mind, with influences that the band cite as ranging from Misfits, Nirvana, and Motorhead and it’s filled with catchy hooks and grungy raw-edged vocals, a winning combination in this particular context, it’s very broad spectrum and if you like a horror twist then it could be even more appealing to you. Lyrically the content is interestingly often ambiguous and delivered with clarity of content so you can give them your own interpretation.” – The Punk Globe (Self-Titled 2018)
“After forming a year and a half ago, Halifax’s horror punk four-piece the Bloody Hell have just released their self-titled debut album. The release follows their singles “Evil Everywhere,” which was out this past February, and “Last Word,” which surfaced just seven days ago. With all of the dark and morbid imagery it has to offer, The Bloody Hell lives up to its genre while still discussing topics relatable to our everyday lives.” The East Mag (Self-Titled 2018)
