Ho99o9 announce new album SKIN, drop opener NUGE SNIGHT

After kicking off their next chapter last month with the release of BATTERY NOT INCLUDED, Ho99o9 have just announced details of their highly-anticipated second album SKIN.

Produced by Travis Barker and featuring appearances by Corey Taylor, Bun B, Saul Williams and Jasiah, the duo's second LP will be released on March 11 via DTA Records, and was previously described by Yeti Bones as "monumental".

“I might be taking a long shot with this,” he told Kerrang!, “but this is just something that hasn’t been done before. I think it’s just going to be monumental. It’s just always forward-thinking, staying 10 steps ahead of the game musically and mentally with what we’re doing and how we do it and how we put everything out on the table. This album has to stand the test of time.”

“Travis Barker is known for the pop-punk aesthetic with most of the artists that he’s worked with,” added theOGM in the same interview, “and I like that we were able to do something different with him and challenge that. I know [there will be people] who hear that Ho99o9 are putting out an album with Travis Barker, and probably be like, ’Ah man, I don’t know. They probably sold out…’ But when you hear it, you’re like, ‘Oh shit, it’s still Ho99o9! This is fire!’ There’s going to be people that love it and there’s going to be people that don’t fuck with it. Fuck ’em. Who cares? That’s what comes with putting your art out there. Anything that you do, that comes with it. But this shit gonna hit. I’m telling you right now, I don’t have no doubts.”
