“Gregory” by South African powerhouse Ruff Majik is taken from the band’s latest album “The Devils Cattle”. The track is a fuzzed-out bass driven sonic dirge about addiction as vocalist and guitarist Johni Holiday explains, “This one is about a good friend and his struggle with addiction. People can fill in the blanks if they want to, or just ignore the lyrics and enjoy the bass line.”Taken from the band’s latest full length album The Devils Cattle, the track is a fuzzed-out bass driven dirge about addiction as vocalist and guitarist Johni Holiday explains, “This one is about a good friend and his struggle with addiction. People can fill in the blanks if they want to, or just ignore the lyrics and enjoy the bass line.”

“The Devils Cattle” has garnered widespread global attention with media praising the release:

“The South African fuzz merchants return with another amphetamine-fuelled joy-ride through the dive bars and dark alleys of their psychic landscape” – Metal Hammer

“Ruff Majik don’t hold back in The Devil’s Cattle and the result is an album of controlled chaos that never ceases to surprise.” – Texx and The City

“This is a band at the top of their game and you never get the same album twice from Ruff Majik. I can’t wait to see what the guys come up with next.” – Outlaws of The Sun

” It’s wild and raucous, it’s unashamedly catchy, and at times it’s ferociously heavy too. It’s also some of the most inventive heavy rock I’ve heard in a long time.” – The Sleeping Shaman

“The Devil’s Cattle is a cacophony of aural madness and probably best enjoyed on full blast, while doing several things simultaneously that probably aren’t exactly street legal” – Power Play Magazine

“It is astonishing to think their first EP only came out five years ago.” – The Obelisk
“Catchier, Crazier, Groovier, Heavier, Ruff Majik is unstoppable, for our greatest pleasure!” – More Fuzz

“The Devil’s Cattle” is a 13 song fire cracker filtered through the colourfully twisted lens of lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Johni Holiday and the first to feature producer, fellow heavy weight, and multi-instrumentalist Evert Snyman. The Devil’s Cattle is a collection of dystopian hymns and ‘feel good’ apocalyptic jams to shake your hips and bang your head to. Think zombie montages, demonic cabarets, drug fuelled car chases, claustrophobic riffs, psychobilly freak-outs and hypnotic duo-toned sonics tightly packed into a highly fluid slice of high speed rock and roll.

“Lead Pills And Thrills” is the third single to be released from our upcoming album “The Devil’s Cattle”. It’s the first one to feature both Evert and Johni front and centre on vocal duties, and also the first time the band experimented with piano driven rock ‘n roll. Lyrically, the song deals with crippling addiction (to both lost love and alcohol).

The video is the conceptual follow up for the animated feature “Who Keeps Score”. Jimmy and Johni are both out in the wasteland, being pursued by zombies. Evert has been taken hostage by a zombie horde to be the personal piano man for their bar – and Jimmy and Johni set out to rescue him. Once there, they discover they have fallen right into a clumsily planned trap.

“Lead Pills And Thrills” (as with the previous videos and album art) is a love letter to B-grade horror and action movies, and this vision was captured perfectly by Tiger And Lilly Productions.

“When hell is full, the dead will walk the earth – turns out they like rock ‘n roll too.” – frontman, Johni Holiday

“Who Keeps Score” is taken from South African stoner rock kings Ruff Majik and is taken from the bands highly anticipated album “The Devils Cattle”. The track also the first to feature new member, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Evert Snyman (Pollinator) on lead vocals. The animated video is a collaborative effort between Lllewellyn Van Eeden and long-time illustrator of the band, Annemarie Buchner.

The idea was to illustrate and animate an enticing storyline about a band of vampire hunters that bit off a little more than they could chew. It’s got church burnings, zombies, high speed car chases, bad dancing – everything you’d want out of a B-movie, jam packed into 3’30”. “Vampires are at large I tell you, Vampires! Yeah. No seriously, some people are just so god damn draining. The only way to beat them is to write a loud and fast song and jam it out with some friends.” Remarks songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Johni Holiday.

“Ever imagined what Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats might sound like after inhaling a load of Wolfmother records, then downing a large pot of really strong coffee?” – Classic Rock

“I’m beginning to pick up on a distinctive sound and style belonging to Ruff Majik and them alone.” – Doomed & Stoned

“There’s an authenticity to Ruff Majik that is just as valuable as the other metallic exports from their homeland even though no amount of gold can buy it.” – Invisible Oranges

“Who Keeps Score” is produced by Johnni Holiday and Evert Snyman.
