About the Album
The album features songs with a punk/thrash metal cross over feel and the vocals add diversity with a power metal edge. "Hellbent" is a recurring theme in all of the songs but with a different interpretation for each. Ranging from local politics and social conditions, serial killers and criminals, antics from Hollywood stars and gore, the content of the album is diverse and witty at times.

“This EP has a nice all round feel of gore hitting you like a freight train heading straight to hell. There are very few all female bands that take this genre of music by the balls and make it their own. Junkyard Lipstick have played many gigs and have made their mark and proven that they too can kick ass.”
- Kultur Magazine
“The band have some quality Old-School Thrash riffs in their repertoire and know how to use them.The combination of youthfully exuberant vocals and passionate Thrash hero-worship means this short EP is very infectious. As I listen to it I can’t help but feel my heart filling with Metal and the urge to mosh along rising.” - Wonderbox Metal
“Vocalist Tazz-O let loose with an incredible scream a couple different times on this track which almost sounded inhuman. Junkyard Lipstick are making some definite strides with a direction they are working towards.” - True Metal Lives
“Overall, the EP is well varied, with never a dull moment. This band most certainly has come far since they started out, and with their current trajectory, it will be interesting to see what they go on to conquer next.” - Metal Temple
"Hellbent" won Global Metal Apocalypse's South African Metal Release of the year.
" 'Hellbent' is a rollercoaster of a ride that takes you from the insanely fast to some of the rockiest sounds made ever, trip-wire riffs guide this ballistic missile-of-an-album through the maze of angelic and demonized vocals, whilst accounting for the drums that would make Lars Ulrich wet himself. 'Hellbent' is simply an album full of face-melting metal, sweat and more oestrogen than African penguins in mating season. It is mean, gritty and full of metal, but perhaps the only thing that is missing is lots of leather, fans may as well agree that seeing these ladies in leather will turn heads faster than Oscar Pistorius can run."
Rhys Stevenson , Global Metal Apocalypse
JUNKYARD LIPSTICK has made an intense and well-played debut album that should get people thinking about metal bands from South Africa as more than a novelty, but as real contenders to be reckoned with.”
Rick Ecker, Altered Frequencies
Hellbent is both a reminder of grim realities and a feel-good album to put on when you need cheering up. Overall, the production quality is very good, and I believe that the band has set themselves a high standard to follow on subsequent releases.
"It is important for a band to keep their listeners and fans captured not only by the music or lyrics of the song individually but by both the music and lyrics combined. The composition should be the background to the story; it should set an atmosphere for the lyrics to easily tell its tale, “Hellbent” houses all those stories telling elements needed to capture their listeners."
Hellbent is therefore, in my opinion, the introduction of Junkyard Lipstick to the world. I expect this not to be the last. This band’s driven by the desire to make music, and relentless in their pursuit of that goal. Don’t let their gender lull you into a false sense of security though, Junkyard Lipstick have got balls!
"Female fronted ass kicking metal rock that at times can remind me of big hair bands.
Put this one on loud and shred!"
