Hollywood Undead Release New Music Video “City Of The Dead”

July 6, 2022 – Los Angeles, CA – Hollywood Undead are back and inviting everyone to join them on a trip to “…Another Glorious Day In The City Of The Dead”. The dark and haunting new single paired with whimsically surreal, music video is out, here.

The video, Directed by frequent collaborator Brian Cox (Bring Me The Horizon, The Used) is set in the band’s interpretation of the “City Of The Dead”, in which the five bandmates mind their days in a Beetlejuice-inspired, twisted world where all things dead have another life.

The song, which has amassed 2M streams across platforms and enjoyed priority placements on genre playlists such as Spotify’s Rock Hard, Hard Rock & Rock Rotation as well as Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock & New in Rock, is also currently in the Top 40 and rising at US Rock & Active Rock Radio. No doubt that the band will be performing this song on this summer’s Rockzilla Tour with Papa Roach, Falling In Reverse, and Bad Wolves.

Due to overwhelming support for the new track, the band has also announced that they will be releasing a additional track, “Trap God”, this Friday, July 8th. The thunderous track takes listeners back to the band’s precarious beginnings – recounting financial struggles and doing what was necessary to survive.

Johnny 3 Tears shares: “’Trap God’ details the band’s early days pre-record label fighting financial set-backs while growing weed in a dirty North Hollywood garage just to make ends meet.”

“City Of The Dead” and “Trap God” are the latest from the band’s forthcoming album Hotel Kalifornia, which is set to be released on August 12^th via BMG. Hotel Kalifornia marks the band’s 8^th studio album and represents “a juxtaposition between the “haves” and the “have-nots”, highlighting the ongoing homelessness and cost of living crisis that is affecting the band’s home state of California.” The record features recent singles “Wild In These Streets,” “CHAOS”, and “City Of The Dead”. Pre-Orders are available now at https://hollywoodundead.lnk.to/HotelKaliforniaPR.

In addition to the new album, Hollywood Undead will be on tour starting later this month. The Rockzilla Tour kicks off on July 27th with Papa Roach, Falling In Reverse, and Bad Wolves. Tickets for all upcoming dates are on sale now at www.hollywoodundead.com.

About Hollywood Undead

Not long after the turn of the century, a collective of friends congregated around a common vision bred in the gutters and back alleys of Hollywood, CA. Under the influence of everything from gritty nineties hip-hop to industrial metal (not to mention cheap booze), they climbed out of similar experiences in poverty and hardship and vaulted to the forefront of 21^st century rock music on their own terms.

To this day, Hollywood Undead hinges on the bond of five individuals who relay such raw experiences into relatable anthems. However, the platinum-certified quintet—Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Funny Man, Charlie Scene, and Danny—tell their story like never before on their eighth full-length album, Hotel Kalifornia [Dove & Grenade Media/BMG].

“We were in a world of shit,” states Johnny 3 Tears. “The opportunities for failure were far more prevalent than the opportunities for success. We were hanging out with gangbangers and drug dealers. The chances of overcoming were very slim. We made something special together because of the heartbreak and heartache that came from all our experiences.”

“Hotel Kalifornia brings me back to a time when all that mattered was music,” adds J-Dog. “The only thing I gave a shit about was going to shows. That was it.”

Throughout 2021, the boys recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles with producers Erik Ron [Panic! At The Disco, Motionless In White], Andrew Migliore [Sueco, Papa Roach], and Drew Fulk [Lil Wayne, Lil Peep]. Working face-to-face, Hollywood Undead rekindled the unbridled intensity of their formative material, yet with refinement only possible through years of grinding on the road.

“When you listen to Hotel Kalifornia, I hope you see how far we’ve come,” Johnny 3 Tears leaves off. “J-Dog and Charlie Scene are completely different songwriters than they were 15 years ago. I’m so impressed by everyone in the band. The only thing we give a fuck about is the audience and trying to get better on each record.”

“After all of these years, people on the outside really have a hard time believing we’re still best friends,” J-Dog adds. “We’ve stayed this close even with all of the shit we’ve been through. Usually, bands break up friendships, but we’re best friends—and we always will be.”
