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”
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.”
