THE GHOULSTARS Release Title Track & Final Single "The Dark Overlords of the Universe”

"The Dark Overlords of the Universe are an evil alien race from the 1986 film Howard the Duck", Laakso says. "The movie bombed at the box office, but I'm glad those many-teethed mutants never left my brain. Not only did they give us the perfect name for our first album, they also spawned the title track, which is probably the catchiest song I've ever written. We are excited to finally unleash it upon the world!"

The video opens with a nod to George Lucas' longest-running franchise before stacking up visual references to Barbarella, Kill Bill, Sin City, and the Swedish buddy cop film Kopps. The song itself crosses surf beats and heavy riffing with a guest appearance from Finnish singer Tommi "Tuple" Salmela, producing a chorus that is, as the band put it, destined to never ever grow old.
