The hip-hop punk-rock group Ho99o9 (Horror) has announced that they plan to release a new album, titled Skin. The project is currently set to release on March 11 through DTA records. In promotion of the new project, Ho99o9 have decided to grace fans with a new single, titled “Nuge Snight,” along with an accompanying music video.
A press release from the group has promised that the upcoming album will be their most polished yet. It is mentioned that the album will be fully produced by Travis Barker, and will present features from Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Bun B, Jesiah, and Saul Williams. Skin intends to be among the group’s most aggressive and noisy works.
“Nuge Snight” is a powerful testament to what this upcoming project has in store. The single, listed by the press release as the first track on the album, is a short one and a half minute sonic assault on the listener – in the best way possible. The short track shows off the group’s ability to switch through sounds and styles while maintaining levels of brutality, transitioning between different styles of drums and different levels of noise. The new single serves to lay bare how Ho99o9’s brilliant and unique fusion of hip-hop, punk and noise is fertile ground for some of the most brutal and aggressive sounds it is possible to create in music. See the music video for “Nuge Snight” below.
