There's a lot of pressure that comes with a title track. It's the song that people will likely associate with your album as a whole, especially when the album has a title like United States of Horror. L.A.-based duo HO99O9 had their song debuted on Beats 1 yesterday, and we're proud to premiere the video on P&P today.
The band's themes of metal, industrial, punk, and rap sounds are on full display in the video. A restrained mental patient is subjected to the televised insanity of the modern world. Police brutality and hooded figures loom over the screen in a chilling nod to A Clockwork Orange, all over HO99O9's signature apocalyptic guitars.
United States of Horror is out on May 5, and they're supporting the album with their first national tour. Listen to HO99O9's interview with Zane Lowe—and check out the tracklist—below.
