Ho99o9 are back with a massive track for the masses, a bruising rap-rock protest anthem called “Power in Numbers.” The standalone single arrived today (June 10th), and is described in a press release as having “a powerful message rooted in unity, resistance, and collective strength.” It bops with a Rage-like fervor, brawnily-crushed drums and fuzz-fused guitar hooks gnashing beneath Yeti Bones’ urgent calls to action (“First thing’s first: fight the power, by any means necessary”) and revolution-anticipating bars (“I’m in a rage to make a change in the system, so better watch what you say to me”). TheOGM hops in for the heavy chorus. You’ll find the pair servin’ up the “new revolution, straight to your face” via the music video up above. It mixes live footage shot at Hellfest — including some behind-the-scenes pallin’ around with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor — with moments of Ho99o9 either painting in their art space or rapping from the top of a building. The song is Ho99o9’s first of the year, and follows 2025’s Tomorrow We Escape album. The duo launch their European summer tour tonight at Lorient, France’s Hydrophone. You’ll find the rest of their overseas schedule here.
