World renowned mash-up (bash-up) metal phenomenon BEATALLICA have confirmed they will release their fourth studio album (their first since 2013) on Metal Assault Records!

In late 2020, Metal Assault Records very excitedly added BEATALLICA to their official label roster. MAR owner Andrew Bansal was first introduced to BEATALLICA in 2010 when the band toured the West Coast and performed at the now defunct Key Club in West Hollywood; putting on the kind of performance only they can. Subsequently, Bansal interviewed BEATALLICA and kept track of their progress over the years as they took their show on the road all over the world, garnering a global fanbase to go with the heaps of praise received from members of METALLICA and the like, as well as from journalists everywhere.

Fast forward to 2021, BEATALLICA is signed to Metal Assault Records and the label will release their fourth studio full length offering, The Devolver Album on CD and digital platforms on November 12, 2021. A music video for the album's lead single "Wherever And Everywhere" is set to premiere on October 1st on the band's YouTube channel, along with the pre-order launch of the album in the aforementioned formats on beatallica.bandcamp.com. All digital and physical album pre-orders will come with an instant download of the lead single.

On the arrival of The Devolver Album and what to expect from the new release, the band issued the following comment: "BEATALLICA are stoked to finally be releasing The Devolver Album after many years of arranging, re-arranging, and deranging concepts! Our relationship with METALLICA has been a blessing and we thank them for their support and allowances. The Devolver Album will have all the elements of past BEATALLICA recordings plus more. Listeners will pick up on the mash-up between original music and lyrics and METALLICA compositions along with BEATLES sensibilities, style, and influence. Thrashy, heavy, clever, subversive, and hesh, of course! BEATALLICA are made up of highly experienced song writers and we had a great time working in original material on this release. Our first single and video for "Wherever And Everywhere" will be out soon. BEATALLICA are pumped to be working with Metal Assault Records and we look forward to playing live, in support of The Devolver Album, before too long! Info and show dates can be found at beatallica.org and merch will be at beatallica.bandcamp.com. Hells yeah!!"
