Manifesting superhuman force through near-magic sonic alchemy, Ho99o9 consistently break free from any and all creative constraints. The duo—theOGM and Yeti Bones —co-mingle genres like chemicals, mixing gloriously hellish hip-hop, basement-born hardcore, future-facing punk, throat-slitting metal, jarring industrial, and off-kilter electronica into a concoction meant to combust the moment you press play or when they hit the stage. As such, the group has quietly haunted the darkest corners of the culture, peeking out with a series of unanimously acclaimed releases, A-list collaborations, and sold-out tours. In 2025, they make a statement with their third full-length album, Tomorrow We Escape, a 999 Deathkult / Last Gang Records/MNRK debut.
“We knew these tunes were emotional, so everything fell into place with the title Tomorrow We Escape,” reveals Yeti Bones. “From there, it was like a flower bloomed. You could be escaping mental issues, problems with drugs, or bad situations. It’s up to the listener.”
“When we started this process, we knew we wanted to make more relatable songs,” adds theOGM. “It was a healthy challenge to focus on emotion. In the past, a lot of our material was politically charged. That element is present to a degree, but we wanted to take a more personal route. This mindset drove how we wrote songs. Everybody has a struggle. The goal is to find motivation for preservation. The New Jersey-bred outfit made its way to Los Angeles over a decade ago. Surging and seething just below the surface, the pair broke through as an apocalyptically fascinating outlier with their 2017 full-length debut, United States of Horror—hailed by DIY as “incomparable to anything else being made right now.” In the meantime, their infamous live shows became the stuff of legend as they packed houses on their own and shared stages with everyone from Slipknot, Korn, Alice In Chains, Rob Zombie, Ministry, and The Dillinger Escape Plan to Lil Uzi Vert, Denzel Curry, Cypress Hill, and Ghostface Killah. Earning the respect of an elite cohort of peers, popular collaborations placed them toe-to-toe with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, The Prodigy, JPEGMAFIA, Ghostemane, HEALTH, 3TEETH, and N8NOFACE, to name a few. Jack Black made an appearance in their KULT CABLE series, while they guested on The Eric Andre Show. Beyond further acclaim from The New York Times, The Quietus, The FADER, Revolver, and more, The New York Times equated Ho99o9 as “An all-out barrage.” They stand out as the rare phenomenon that can decimate Hell Fest and captivate on A COLORS SHOW.
