Hellbastard are a thrash metal/crust punk band, formed in 1986 in the United Kingdom. Members met at a Subhumans gig and soon after formed Hellbastard, which was to be a combination of Crass-like politics and the music of Slayer. In 1990, after several EPs and full-lengths, the group appeared on the Combat-Earache compilation album, Grindcrusher, with the song "Justly Executed", from the Natural Order LP.

They are considered to be an influential band in the crust punk genre. The genre subsequently adopted its name from the band's demo, Ripper Crust. Members of Hellbastard later went on to form Hellkrusher.

The band reformed in late 2007 and is currently writing material for a 2009 release.
