Wargasm have released their new track ‘70% Dead’ with Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor.
The band announced the single earlier this week (July 10), and have now unveiled the full thrashing song.
Speaking about the collaboration, Wargasm said: “We were on the road in the USA with Corey – Sam ended up jumping on a mic with him during his set and we just felt like the voices sounded right together. It totally made sense to do something fresh with the three of us and well…. you don’t ask you don’t get.
“Some OG fans might recognise the lyrics, this has been a long time coming,” they continued. “‘70% Dead’ is a cry out at a world gone mad; war, disease, inequality. It feels like something is brewing. ‘Fuck me, what went wrong? I’m sick of sleeping on the barrel of a loaded gun’.”

It comes after they recently teased the collaboration to NME following their slot at Download 2024. They previously teamed up with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst on their 2023 single ‘Bang Ya Head’.
“We’ve featured on a lot of other artists’ tunes this year, and it made us realise that we really want another artist to be the one featuring on our tunes,” said Sam Matlock. “So far we’ve only had that once, but it was Fred Durst to be fair. So come back next month and you see – our first dream collaboration was with Fred, and the second is on the way.”
The duo have previously toured with Taylor along with Royal Blood and Babymetal.
Meanwhile Taylor released his second solo record, ‘CMF2’ last year. In a three-star review, NME said that “there’s enough good stuff on here to justify the album’s existence”.
It added: “And if nothing else, it’s a fascinating insight into the dichotomy that drives one of the greatest bands of the 21st Century.”
In other news, Wargasm have announced a “live and fucking loud” livestream from a tank graveyard.
