Los Angeles by way of New Jersey punks Ho99o9 (horror) have announced their third album, ‘Tomorrow We Escape’, out September 9th. A true amalgamation of all the band’s influences — experimental hip-hop, digital hardcore, future-facing punk, metal, jarring industrial, and off-kilter electronics — the album is their most emotional offering to date, rooted in personal struggle and triumph. “When we started this process, we knew we wanted to make more relatable songs,” says theOGM. “It was a healthy challenge to focus on emotion. In the past, a lot of our material was politically charged. That element is present to a degree, but we wanted to take a more personal route. This mindset drove how we wrote songs. Everybody has a struggle. The goal is to find motivation for preservation.”
Today, the band share the album’s lead single, ‘Upside Down,’ a neck-snapping blend of warped guitars, woozy melodies, and driving bass-lines. The track arrives alongside a dystopian video set in a world where the Chinese Yuan is world currency and water has become a black market commodity. Watch that here.
Ho99o9 will be performing on the Vans Warped Tour at the Long Beach stop (July 26 & 27) and have also announced an Australian tour with The Dillinger Escape Plan this August. Click HERE for more details.
The New Jersey-bred outfit made its way to Los Angeles over a decade ago. Surging and seething just below the surface, the pair broke through as an apocalyptically fascinating outlier with their 2017 full-length debut, ‘United States of Horror’. In the meantime, their infamous live shows became the stuff of legend as they packed houses on their own and shared stages with everyone from Slipknot, Korn, Alice In Chains, Rob Zombie, Ministry, and The Dillinger Escape Plan to Lil Uzi Vert, Denzel Curry, Cypress Hill, and Ghostface Killah. Earning the respect of an elite cohort of peers, popular collaborations placed them toe-to-toe with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, The Prodigy, JPEGMAFIA, Ghostemane, HEALTH, 3TEETH, and N8NOFACE, to name a few. Jack Black made an appearance in their KULT CABLE series while they guested on The Eric Andre Show. They’ve received further acclaim from The New York Times, NME, The Guardian, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, The FADER, Revolver, and more. They stand out as the rare phenomenon who can decimate Hellfest and Aftershock Festival and captivate on A COLORS SHOW.
