If you've ever wondered what nü-metal tinted with hyperpop would sound like, Wargasm has you covered. The band is now streaming their new single "Bang Ya Head" featuring the master of edgy nü-metal vocals himself, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame. It's a far cry from the nü-metal of 20 years ago, but it's still pretty good!
"When I was working in bars it always drove me insane how much it costs us to live, and how little money we make," said Wargasm's Sam Matlock. "The worlds going fucking crazy and everything's getting so expensive – how the fuck are we meant to buy a life? It's just this nightmare cycle until you get lucky. Like banging your head against a brick wall over and over and over – you bang your head until you break your fucking neck.
"We took that energy and put it onto a guitar at our friend's house in LA, then a microphone in a bathroom somewhere so the neighbors weren't too pissed off, then we asked the one and only Fred Durst if he wanted to join in and he did – now we have this monstrosity. We've been waiting so damn long for you to hear this…"
