BLOOD-RED VINYL, RARE RIFFS & ZERO MERCY
New year, new noise, and The Chuck Norris Experiment are kicking things off with the release of HOT STUFF 3 β the third chapter in their no-frills series of unreleased tracks, B-sides, and rare cuts from the last couple of years.
This isnβt a half-hearted leftovers job. This is action-packed, riff-driven rock βnβ roll, pulled straight from the vault and delivered with zero polish and maximum attitude. Proper job.
π₯ WHAT IS HOT STUFF 3?
HOT STUFF 3 completes the trilogy β a snarling collection of songs that may not have landed on previous albums but absolutely deserve to be heard loud. Itβs raw, itβs direct, and it carries that unmistakable Chuck Norris Experiment energy that sits somewhere between barroom chaos and motorway momentum.
All tracks were recorded at Studio Meltdown in Kungsbacka, with Kenny Boufadene behind the desk, keeping everything gritty, immediate, and gloriously alive.
π©Έ BLOOD RED VINYL β STRICTLY LIMITED
Vinyl lovers, pay attention.
The album will be released on LP only, pressed in a strictly limited run of just 200 copies on blood red vinyl. Once theyβre gone, theyβre gone.
Artwork comes courtesy of long-time collaborator STE, delivering a striking βflying skullβ design that fits the bandβs raw aesthetic perfectly.
The LP is released via Ghost Highway Recordings and Chaputa Records, two labels who know exactly how underground rock should look and sound.

RIFF REPORT VERDICT πΈ
HOT STUFF 3 is a love letter to the rough edges of rock βnβ roll β loud, unapologetic, and proudly underground. Limited vinyl, killer artwork, and a tracklist stacked with attitude make this a must-grab for fans and collectors alike.
Turn it up. Support the underground.
Rock βnβ roll still bites.

Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene specialβfrom legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether heβs battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, heβs always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When heβs not writing or interviewing artists, youβll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than musicβtheyβre about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Thatβs exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
