Dutch heavy rockers Hell Valley High return with a brand new standalone single, “Futile”, out now via Argonauta Records.
The track marks the band’s first new material since its acclaimed debut Welcome to Hell Valley and delivers a powerful and timely message through its signature mix of groove-driven heaviness, roaring vocals and massive riffs.
The band comments:
“At times it seems that conflict is a necessary part of the human experience. Sometimes we find ourselves thinking that we’ll never learn. Songs like ‘Masters of War’ and ‘War Pigs’ paint pictures that seem every bit as relevant today as they did when they first came out. This song, ‘Futile’, seeks to contribute to an awareness regarding the issues of modern war and the price that’s being paid by those who partake in it. We do this the best way we know how, with thundering drums, distorted guitars and roaring vocals. Make riffs not war.”
At the same time, confirms that a new full-length album is currently in the works. The band will enter the studio in September 2026 with renowned producer Pieter Kloos, known for his work with Motorpsycho, Dool, Komatsu, 7Zuma7, and The Devil’s Blood.
To support this new chapter, the band will perform a series of live shows across The Netherlands, including an appearance at Offroad, the official complementary program of Roadburn.
Upcoming live dates:
17.04.26 Tilburg, Offroad at Roadburn
02.05.26 Coevorden, MFC w/ Midhaven
30.05.26 Eindhoven, Bridge Guitar Festival
03.06.26 Den Bosch, Willem Twee Poppodium w/ Howling Giant

Released in October 2024 via Argonauta Records, Welcome to Hell Valley established the band as a rising force in the European heavy scene. The album received strong support from major media outlets and led to shows alongside Fu Manchu, Nashville Pussy, Bokassa and Planet Of Zeus, as well as festival appearances at Desertfest Antwerp and Interstellar Solar Fest.
Blending heavy rock, stoner and grunge, Hell Valley High delivers a sound built on thick riffs, pounding rhythms and memorable hooks, drawing inspiration from Truckfighters, Red Fang, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Karma to Burn, Kyuss and Monster Magnet.
With “Futile”, the band opens a new chapter and offers a first glimpse into what promises to be a bold and uncompromising new album.
