Today sees dynamic London-based duo WARGASM release their first single of the year, “70% DEAD” (with Corey Taylor) via slowplay / Republic / Island UK.
Written by Sam Matlock and Milkie Way, the track sees the band collaborate with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor. With their voices blending perfectly together against the heavy rhythm, “70% DEAD” sees the trio vent about the state of the world. Speaking on the track the band said: “We were on the road in the USA with Corey – Sam ended up jumping on a mic with him during his set and we just felt like the voices sounded right together. It totally made sense to do something fresh with the three of us and well…. you don’t ask you don’t get.
Some OG fans might recognise the lyrics, this has been a long time coming. “70% Dead” is a cry out at a world gone mad; war, disease, inequality. It feels like something is brewing.
‘Fuck me, what went wrong? I’m sick of sleeping on the barrel of a loaded gun”
Earlier this week, Wargasm played their debut album VENOM in its entirety in a tank graveyard. This year will see them take to 2000 Trees festival where they headline the Cave stage before conquering festival stages across Europe. Full live show dates below.
Last year saw the band release their debut album VENOM, which includes fan-favourites “Do It So Good”, “Bang Ya Head” ft. Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst and “Modern Love”. The debut album has received love from critics with NME stating the debut album, “cements Wargasm’s position as one of UK heavy music’s leading forces.” whilst Kerrang! proclaim “‘Venom is arguably the biggest and heaviest WARGASM have ever sounded, as well as the most creative.”
About WARGASM:
WARGASM are the climax of an orgy between heavy metal, electronic, rave, alternative, and industrial powered up by the friction of two gleefully insane creative insurgents Milkie Way and Sam Matlock. They honed a vital and visceral vision across early bangers such as “Spit.,” “Rage All Over,” “Salma Hayek,” and “Scratchcard Feeling,” paving the way for 2022’s EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE. Beyond reeling in over 10 million streams and counting, the latter incited the applause of PAPER Magazine, Revolver Magazine, and more as well as earning the endorsement of icons such as Jonathan Davis of Korn and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit who personally tapped the band to open a 2022 North American arena tour. They stand out the rare force of nature who could hold their own on tour with either YUNGBLUD or Corey Taylor of Slipknot. Plus, they’ve graced the covers of Alternative Press and KERRANG! in addition to garnering the first-ever “New Noise Award” at the 2022 KERRANG! Awards. However, everything simply set the stage for their 2023 full-length debut album, VENOM. The duo deliver a shockingly catchy blast of horny and hypnotic heavy music as unpredictable as it is uncompromising. Its lineage can be traced to the big-screen genre mashing of the nineties, yet it’s spiked with a 21st century fury that could only belong to WARGASM. You’ve been warned by singles “Bang Ya Head” [feat. Fred Durst] and “Do It So Good.” Rock music won’t be the same, and thank FUCKING God for that.
