WARGASM announce debut album 'Venom' + tour dates
15 July 2023
Dynamic London-based duo WARGASM return with a bang, unleashing a frenetic and fiery new single entitled “Do It So Good” and announce they will be releasing their debut album Venom on October 27th.
On the news of Venom & release of “Do It So Good” the band said:
"For the last 16 months we’ve spent every moment off the road in the studio creating the perfect debut album for Wargasm. Heavy, melodic, disgusting, honest, sexy, everything this band has experimented with since our inception has been pinned down on the anvil and hammered into shape, thrown at the wall, beaten into a more fucked up shape and gone back onto the anvil.
We hope you enjoy ‘Do It So Good’ as a taste of what’s to come.
‘Venom’ is us. This is ours and before the year clocks out this will be yours.
Watch closely - you have no idea what’s gonna happen next x"
“Do It So Good” hinges on pulsating synth loops ravaged by groans of distortion and pummeling beat-craft. It seesaws between iconic lyrics in each verse and shuddering screams as Milkie Way promises, “Baby we came for blood.” The devastatingly ecstatic “Do It So Good” spirals towards one final climactic crescendo, incinerating the boundaries between metal, alternative, and electronic.
The music video for the track equally matches the intensity as it sees Milkie Way and Sam Matlock performing live and in a distorted glitch screen video tunnel.
In addition to the album, fans can pre-order limited vinyl variants and exclusive merch at www.wargasm.online.
After touring with Enter Shikari and Limp Bizkit at the end of last year (and into top of this year), Wargasm are set for another amazing run of dates leading into the rest of 2023. They will be supporting Royal Blood on July 29th at Brighton By The Beach Festival and then were selected by Corey Taylor to support him on his US tour from August 25-October 5th. The tour makes stops at The Paramount in Huntington, NY on September 16th, and The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA on October 5th. They will also be hitting festival stages at Louder Than Life Festival on September 22nd and Aftershock Festival on October 7th in Sacramento, CA before heading back to the UK where they will be performing at their largest headline shows to date including Shepherds Bush Empire on December 16th. In addition BabyMetal on their European tour. Fans can check out the full list of dates below and at https://www.wargasm.online/tour-dates.
Last year, they unleashed EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE. It piled up 10 million-plus streams, earned raves from the likes of PAPER Magazine, Loudwire (who hailed it as one of their “Best New Debut Rock + Metal Albums of 2022) and Revolver Magazine who said “Wargasm don't just have the nu-metal sound, they have the swagger.” Not to mention they have previously been featured on the covers of Alternative Press and KERRANG! Plus, they took home the first-ever “New Noise Award” at the 2022 KERRANG! Awards.
