WORST ONES Drop Crushing New Single & Video “Deny Reality” 💀

Philadelphia’s industrial sludge metal insurgents WORST ONES have returned with a brutal new single and video, Deny Reality—a sonic assault that cuts through willful ignorance with venom, distortion, and uncompromising heaviness.

Claustrophobic & Hypnotic Sound
Deny Reality channels the bleak pulse of Godflesh, the twisted hooks of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, and the sample-driven chaos of Skinny Puppy. Built on relentless electronic percussion and skittering hi-hats that slice through layers of noise loops, the track morphs shredded guitars into inhuman fragments. A towering chorus rises above the chaos, before a crushing breakdown drags the listener into sludge-drenched oblivion.

💀 Lyrical Warfare Against Ignorance
At its core, Deny Reality confronts the culture of willful blindness that has metastasized into complicity. With lyrics like “Cast out your empathy, behold your tragedy” and “My nightmares are dreams, you deny reality,” the track attacks the toxic refusal to see truth—an ignorance that sustains violence and accelerates collapse. It’s not an escape—it’s the very engine of destruction.

🔥 Noise as Resistance
The track will also appear on Abolish ICE, a Philadelphia-based compilation featuring 16 local metal, hardcore, and punk bands—including Trunk, L.M.I., Sunrot, Boozewa, SOJI, Detox Meds, and Get Well. Copies are available in exchange for donations to Juntos, a community-led Latine immigrant rights organization. With this, WORST ONES transform their sound into protest—turning distortion into direct action, and noise into a weapon of resistance.
