In celebration of their upcoming release, Heavy Metal Rules, guitarist Satchel gave an interview over at MusicRadar.

Here’s what he had to say about the album’s title: “Dude, I can’t believe we haven’t thought of that before! There’s actually a song on the record called “Heavy Metal Rules” too, which is something we’ve never done, having a title track on an album. It’s so perfect because heavy metal rules and that’s what we love to do.”

As the title suggests, Steel Panther are very committed to their chosen genre of music. But what exactly qualifies as heavy metal nowadays? What are the rules of the trade?

“The only rule is that there are no rules. That’s the rule! Follow anything else besides that rule and you’re not heavy metal,” explains Satchel with his signature brand of logic. “That’s the essence of it all right there. You can learn about music theory and what chords go together and sh*t, but the vibe is about rebellion, having fun and partying into your mid-60s like me.”

Well, if you’re gonna put it like that, sign us up as well! Heavy Metal Rules, coming out September 27th!

Los Angeles-based band picked the name Heavy Metal Rules for their next record, and we’ll have to wait until September 27th to hear it in full. They released an official statement announcing this record and teased what seems like their most exciting album to date.

“Heavy Metal Rules is the ultimate party album. Anthem after anthem and hook after hook, the songs will provide the soundtrack to your new bitchin’ heavy metal life.”

According to band’s frontman Michael Starr, this record should’ve been here much sooner, but they had to start working on it from scratch after accidentally deleting the entire thing. We’re not 100% sure if he’s serious or not, due to Steel Panther’s twisted sense of humor, but Starr claims he remembered all the lyrics and they eventually got back on track.
