Impressively packaged in an epic and monumental artwork by Elzo Durt, "Bellatrix Boadicea" is a tumult of impressions, sensations, and actions. The name "Bellatrix Boadicea" itself brings its share of mystery and may seem unknown to some of us. This new opus by MARY BELL takes its title from Boudica, the queen of a Celtic tribe who led an uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in 60 AD. Another form of sedition, like the fourteen songs on this album, with their loud demands and frenetic punk jolts that can even lead to introspection. The band is back where they left off with "Histrion," their critically acclaimed previous effort. An album that successfully convinced fans of punk, hardcore, and garage, and we bet that "Bellatrix Boadicea" will appeal to an even wider audience with richer songs and atmospheres. The incisive lyrics deal with what the band describes as their favorite subjects: "revenge, hate, crappy relationships, the circle of life, and cats."
