After frontman Hank Von Helvete left Norway’s Turbonegro for the last and final time, and the remaining members replaced him with a subpar copycat (“The Duke of Nothing”? Yeah, I’ll say…), I really tried to stick with them. But you can’t replace a sparkler with a mortar, so I signed off hoping someday the real rock ’n’ roll fireworks would return. If Hank’s exit from Turbonegro left a hole in your life only catchy, fist-pumping sing-alongs could fill, it’s time to plug that void. The king has reemerged with a new moniker—Hank Von Hell—and a solo record called Egomania.
