Dynamic London-based duo, WARGASM have dropped their explosive and energetic new single, “Bang Ya Head” featuring Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The new track continues to build anticipation for the arrival of their anxiously awaited debut album, Venom out October 27th.
On the new song WARGASM said, “When I was working in bars it always drove me insane how much it costs us to live, and how little money we make. 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.”

They continue, “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……”
“Bang Ya Head” distills WARGASM’s controlled chaos into a focused and frenetic burst of energy. The track itself bounces between glitchy rave-ready electronics, gnashing teeth-gritting guitars, and quotable rhymes only to culminate on a lyrical volley between Milkie Way and Fred. He urges, “Keep banging your head until you’re breaking your neck.” Milkie counters with a nod to Bizkit’s classic “My Generation” with the warning, “You’re in the jungle punk!” After the band opened for Limp Bizkit last year on their 2022 tour they teamed up on the soon to be iconic track.
The moment doubles as a figurative passing of the torch, enshrining WARGASM as boundary-breaking nu metal’s heir apparent.
Wargasm are set for another amazing run of dates leading into the rest of 2023. The band recently supported 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.
