Code Orange are about to drop some new music on us. On Thursday June 1st, the Pittsburgh metallic hardcore crew are tentatively slated to release a couple new songs called "Grooming My Replacement" and "The Game." And since the band recently wiped their Instagram feed to begin rolling out a whole new set of visual clues, we'd venture a guess that they're singles from an upcoming album.
Today (May 30th), Code Orange dropped a 14-minute video cheekily titled "Code Orange SLAMS modern music critics," that mostly consists of footage of a torture victim being interrogated. However, at the tail end of the vid, we get to hear a couple minutes of fresh music, and it sounds incredibly promising.
Since their ambitious 2020 album, Underneath, Code Orange have dropped a live record, a remix album, a WWE soundtrack and their surprisingly gaudy 2021 nu-metal banger, "Out For Blood." These teasers don't sound like any of that stuff.
Monstrously heavy, brooding and chugging, the clip in the above YouTube video sounds like Forever-era Code Orange. The music starts at about the 11:05 mark of the video. Listen for yourself.
