WARGASM Release New Singles “Circle Pit” & “Bad Seed”
London’s fiery duo WARGASM are back with a vengeance, unleashing two high-octane singles, “Circle Pit” and “Bad Seed”, now available via slowplay / Republic / Island UK. Dropped together as one explosive music video, the tracks crank up the energy as the band prepares to hit the road on their Club Shit Tour.
About the tunes, the band said,
“The world is apathetic and lonely, and music is our coping mechanism. Anger is our energy. ‘Circle Pit’ (a rework of a track our Japanese family might already know) is all about the cycle. You can’t break it, so why be part of it? Get in the pit, come out to the coast have a few laughs. ‘Bad Seed’ on the other hand….that’s for those that choose to make the cycle worse. People who waste time being small and hating when there’s so much to create. We’re going back to the start. There’s an intimate club tour coming up that craved some new riffs.”
The duo—comprising Sam Matlock and Milkie Way—inject “Circle Pit” with a riotous burst of heavy synths, thundering riffs, and a chant-ready chorus that invites you to “get in the pit.” On the other hand, “Bad Seed” takes a darker, grittier approach with grinding guitar lines and Milkie’s fierce vocal taunts. The relentless chants and sharp lyricism will leave fans buzzing.
This release follows their earlier 2024 banger “70% Dead” featuring Corey Taylor, which stormed the charts with over 870K Spotify streams and widespread critical praise. Now, WARGASM is primed to keep the momentum going with these fresh tracks as they take their raw energy on the road.

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 Magazine, Revolver Magazine, 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.
