Wargasm are back with not one but two new songs, “Circle Pit” and “Bad Seeds,” their first releases since this summer’s collaborative single with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, “70% Dead.”
True to form, the new tracks find the U.K. electro-punk duo — comprised to Milkie Way and Sam Matlock — in hyperkinetic, fuck-the-world form. Take in the madness via Wargasm’s new two-song music video, complete with biker gangs and desert-set rock-outs, above.
“The world is apathetic and lonely, and music is our coping mechanism,” Way and Matlock commented in a joint statement. “Anger is our energy. ‘Circle Pit’ (a rework of a track our Japanese family might already know) is all about the cycle. You can’t break it, so why be part of it? Get in the pit, come out to the coast have a few laughs. ‘Bad Seed’ on the other hand… that’s for those that choose to make the cycle worse. People who waste time being small and hating when there’s so much to create. We’re going back to the start. There’s an intimate club tour coming up that craved some new riffs.”
The latest songs come after a long line of collaborative cuts from Wargasm, including joint efforts with Fred Durst, Bad Omens, Ho99o9 and Crossfaith, in addition to Taylor. The band’s debut album, Venom, in out now.
