Industrial‑metal powerhouse Combichrist has unleashed a new collaborative single, “Demons Wanna Be Summoned”, joining forces with Michigan’s uncompromising nu‑metal unit King 810. Out now via Out Of Line Music, the track arrives with an accompanying lyric video steeped in bleak, ritualistic tension.
Where Combichrist are often associated with high‑velocity aggression, “Demons Wanna Be Summoned” takes a different path — a slow, deliberate descent that trades speed for suffocating atmosphere. The song crawls forward with oppressive weight, its industrial architecture grinding beneath layers of electronic menace. King 810 frontman David Gunn injects his unmistakable, street‑hardened intensity, adding a raw edge that feels carved straight from the concrete of Flint, Michigan. The collaboration lands with purpose: heavy not through chaos, but through sheer gravitational pull.
The single continues the momentum surrounding Combichrist’s forthcoming studio album. Founder Andy LaPlegua has been unveiling a series of tracks — including “Desolation”, “RISE”, and “Feraline” — signalling a darker, more expansive sonic evolution as the band approaches their next full‑length chapter.
Onstage, Combichrist remains relentless. The band are set to headline Dark Force Fest 2026 on 1 May in Parsippany, NJ, before crossing the Atlantic for a run of major European festival appearances. Confirmed dates include Alcatraz Metal Festival (6–9 August, Kortrijk, Belgium) and M’era Luna (8 August, Hildesheim, Germany), with more announcements expected as the album cycle unfolds. Link
