Press release:
Dueren, Germany – June 21st, 2022.
Headup and Sluggerfly are pleased to announce a collaboration with Electric Callboy, the award-winning metal band known for their hilarious tracks and music videos, for the upcoming 3D platformer “Hell Pie” (which is coming to PC via Steam on July 21st, 2022).

Fusing Hell Pie and Electric Callboy’s shared love of all things metal, the collaboration will see four skins included in the game based on the band’s latest songs.

The skins will be based on the mullet-heavy Hypa Hypa, the head-pumping We Got The Moves, the gym-core extravaganza Pump It and the sci-fi-suited song that is Spaceman and will complement Hell Pie’s offbeat and spectacularly funny flavour perfectly.

Hell Pie is an old-school-inspired, heavy metal infused 3D platformer that takes bad taste to the next level. You grab the horns of Nate, the ‘Demon of Bad Taste’, tasked with gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie. Venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there’ll be hell to pay!

Luckily Nate isn’t alone on this quest, with his ‘pet’ angel Nugget ready and able to offer support. Nugget offers his holy insight when needed but, more importantly, is chained to Nate, so he can be used as a grappling hook or swung around as a weapon.

Nate can also equip horns he finds across the world to give him new hellish abilities, from charging through enemies and boulders , to gliding through the air. Together, Nate and Nugget will explore wild environments, meet tons of unsavoury enemies and characters, and witness some truly shocking sights in the seriously twisted take on the classic mascot platformer.

About Electric Callboy
Formed in 2010 under the name Eskimo Callboy, the band has already made plenty of noise and caused a worldwide sensation in the first decade of its existence but judging by what’s been going on in the last two years, that was just the prelude. Since the singer Nico Sallach, who joined the band in 2020, the guys from Castrop-Rauxel are really going for it! The very first single with him became the biggest success in the band’s history so far. “Hypa Hypa” reached over 60 million plays in record time! The two following singles “We Got The Moves” and “Pump It”, which will be featured on the upcoming album “TEKKNO”, are also the talk of the world with their spectacularly funny videos.

Electric Callboy are currently out on their “Hypy Hypa European Tour 2022” that has sold out with more than 60k tickets, followed by a bunch of Summer Festivals till September, a tour through the UK and France till early October and the “Level Up Tour 2022” with numerous shows in the US till the end of 2022. In February 2023 Electric Callboy’s grand arena “TEKKNO Tour” starts with shows through complete Europe. Check out their tour dates here.
