Wargasm Released Video For New Single “Vigilantes”

Riotous and incendiary UK duo WARGASM, who make angry music for sad people, are back and they’ve upped the f**king ante. Today, they drop the video for their new single “Vigilantes,” the first taste of music as an independent entity once again. Get ready for this one to register on the Richter scale.

It’s all fists, all fury, complete with synths, rhythmic bounce and groove, and raging riffs. Basically, “Vigilantes” is the sort of signature electro-tinged, metallic anthem that the band is known for crafting. Wargasm haven’t simply been turning heads for years — they have been ripping ’em clean off your neck.

 The track will leave you in a heap, gasping for breath, once the final note fades out. And then you’ll get up, hit the replay button, and do it all over again.

“Months and months of turmoil, love, hate, and passion has gone into ‘Vigilantes,'” shares the band. “We have waited so long to release this for you and with it, Wargasm are excited to be an unsigned band again. This is turbulence bottled, shaken, and injected right into your ear drums. Everything about Wargasm is energy. We hope you feel something.”

Yes, that’s correct. Wargasm, who were tipped by NME as “a total riot,” labeled by Everything Is Noise as “brutally efficient at utilizing an array of sounds and tones to build a playground of blood, rust, and debauchery” and hailed by Kerrang! for their “glossy, sexy, action movie kind of violence,”  are once again fully independent and they continue to do things THEIR way.

Wargasm — comprised of Sam Matlock and Milkie Way — also announced their first-ever headline tour of the U.S. Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 25 at 10am local time. Get tickets here. Dates are below.

WARGASM are the climax of an orgy between heavy metal, electronic, rave, alternative, and industrial powered up by the friction of two gleefully insane creative insurgents Milkie Way and Sam Matlock. They honed a vital and visceral vision across early bangers such as “Spit.,” ‘Rage All Over,” “Salma Hayek,” and “Scratchcard Feeling,” paving the way for 2022’s EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE. Beyond reeling in over 10 million streams and counting, the latter incited the applause of PAPER, Revolver, and more, as well as earning the endorsement of icons such as Jonathan Davis of Korn and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit who personally tapped the band to open a 2022 North American arena tour. They stand out the rare force of nature who could hold their own on tour with either YUNGBLUD or Corey Taylor of Slipknot. Plus, they’ve graced the covers of Alternative Press and KERRANG! in addition to garnering the first-ever “New Noise Award” at the 2022 KERRANG! Awards. However, everything simply set the stage for their 2023 full-length debut album, VENOM. The duo deliver a shockingly catchy blast of horny and hypnotic heavy music as unpredictable as it is uncompromising. Its lineage can be traced to the big-screen genre mashing of the nineties, yet it’s spiked with a 21st century fury that could only belong to WARGASM. You’ve been warned by singles “Bang Ya Head” [Feat. Fred Durst] and “Do It So Good.” Rock music won’t be the same, and thank FUCKING God for that.
