To TNWOHM fan's around the world,
Hello, greetings, and welcome back to the Weekend News Report. The temperature is heating up outside, and that means the the wild crazy metalheads are all out playing shows and causing more mayhem! And this is how the madness went down this week in the genre of modern sleaze/hair/glam.
🇸🇪Hardcore Superstar🇸🇪 released another video from their up coming album on Friday. This time it was for the track "Baboon". This is the fourth video/single released so far from their up coming album. This was another cool "concept" video. I like the video/stories they have been doing for the past few singles. It's a nice break from the stage one's. I recommend it. It's very entertaining.

Their debut album "No Sign Of Relief" will be released on September 21, 2018 on all platforms including vinyl and cd. There will be video/singles released before the album comes out. The album artwork was done by Tomorrow Creatives.
