Encompassing Butler and Davies shared love of both guitar and electronic music, it inserts multiple fingers into multiple genres &#8211; Hard. Concrete Hyena are a sonic headlock, a vocal half nelson &#8211; a technical KO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also featured on the album are appearances by Jason Bowld (<strong>Bullet For My Valentine<\/strong> \/&nbsp;<strong>PWEI<\/strong>) and Ritch Battersby (<strong>The Wildhearts<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8216;Hi!
